Good Tuesday morning — the start of another Northeast Ohio summer day. We’ve got a mix of community news, business developments, and local public-safety updates to keep you informed as you start your week. In business news, Northfield Park Racino in Northfield is rolling out a big grand-opening celebration that includes a $1 million drawing, a free concert series, festivals, live racing and more.
