NEOhio Daily Briefing — May 29, 2026

Good Friday morning — summer feels just around the corner and we've got a full local roundup to help you start the day. Here’s what Northeast Ohioans were reading overnight and what to watch this weekend. In state policy, Gov. Mike DeWine ordered a pause on new data-center tax exemption requests, directing the Ohio Tax Credit Authority to hold off while the General Assembly’s Joint Data Center Committee studies the sector’s rapid growth. That pause could slow future deals as lawmakers and local leaders weigh long-term impacts. Local government news: Twinsburg City Council moved quickly on summer-safety measures, enacting emergency e‑bike regulations after a youth accident and winning an $850,000 federal grant for Glenn Chamberlin Park. The council also approved plans for a regional fire station — a trio of decisions likely to shape public safety and recreation this year. On the consumer and business front, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost filed suit in Warren against a Mahoning Valley contractor accused of taking large down payments and leaving projects unfinished. In industry news, STG Family of Companies announced the acquisition of Blue Jay Communications, expanding a Midwest fiber footprint to more than 250 workers and signaling continued private investment in regional infrastructure. Community events and life tips: Petco Macedonia is hosting an FFF charity cookout and bake sale May 30–31 (11 a.m.–2 p.m.) to benefit local animal welfare groups, while Nordonia Hills branch library has family programs lined up — “Gaga for Goats” on June 9 at 2 p.m. (tickets 30 minutes before the program) and Jurassic-themed cake-pop crafting on June 17. If you’re heading out of town, don’t miss our community guide on the pre-vacation checklist that highlights the small things people often forget. Real estate and local sales: Kiko Auctioneers will liquidate a Macedonia estate — real property and personal items — with the live real-estate auction set for June 29. If you’re house‑shopping or bargain hunting, mark your calendar. Public safety logs: Police blotters from Sagamore Hills, Northfield Village and Stow show a mix of incidents this week — from a fatal medical emergency and vehicle damage to a domestic-violence arrest, shoplifting, juvenile incidents and an OVI arrest. As always, check the full logs for dates and details relevant to your neighborhood. No new bulletin-board notices were filed in the last 24 hours. Keep an eye on these stories throughout the day — and stay informed about what’s happening in our communities.
