• Chagrin Falls tightens up village's hillside protection language (chagrinvalleytoday.com) — Chagrin Falls officials are updating the village's hillside protection rules, aiming to better safeguard homes and neighboring properties built on or near steep slopes without adding unnecessary costs for homeowners. A public hearing and final council vote are set for Monday, and leaders stress the ordinance clarifies engineering expectations so future construction avoids dangerous slope slippage in vulnerable areas like Mill Street.
   

• Legal Notices 9-24-26 September 23, 2026 (geaugamapleleaf.com) — Several new legal notices may matter to Chagrin Falls-area residents, including domestic-violence protection order proceedings involving a Bartholomew Road address and a proposal to add wireless antennas to a tower on Chillicothe Road. Additional notices cover Middlefield ordinances, county bids for senior meal and home-care services, and Chardon Schools' search for an IT services provider, all with deadlines in the coming weeks.
   

• Over the Falls: Columnist has always had special place in his heart for Chagrin Falls (chagrinvalleytoday.com) — A longtime Northeast Ohioan-turned-new-resident shares how Chagrin Falls has been a beloved destination since childhood, from brick-paved Falls Road drives to popcorn shop visits and Thanksgiving gatherings with relatives in town. Now retired and finally living in Chagrin Falls, he reflects on decades of longing to move here and why the village still feels like a magical place worth writing about.
