Interurban Building to be moved for Medina Legacy Hotel
The historic Interurban rail building on South Court Street in Medina will be relocated to protect it as construction begins on the Legacy Hotel. Once part of the Cleveland Southwestern Electric Railway, it has faced multiple relocations and preservation efforts since 1988, with developers and city officials agreeing the move is necessary to avoid site utility work hindering project progress.

Brunswick Hills police station to repair water damage
Brunswick Hills Police Chief Tim Sopkovich said continuous water from a clogged air conditioning line leaked into the station floor, causing ceiling and wall damage. The building’s drywall and flooring were replaced, and evidence rooms were cleared and restructured to protect stored evidence. Roof shingles from recent storms also caused garage water damage with tile and drywall replacement.
