Here are the top four stories in Cleveland today:

1. Cleveland is discussing the possible closure of Burke Lakefront Airport, which sits on a prime lakefront location for economic development. The airport, which has operated since 1947, occupies 450 acres and is a reliever airport to Cleveland Hopkins. The city has been searching for a consultant to find out if a park or mixed-use development could serve a better purpose for the land. (cleveland.com)
2. The FBI Cleveland Division released a statement detailing how voters in the upcoming midterm election can avoid and report federal election crimes. Voter or ballot fraud is the most common election crime, including an individual voting more than once or an ineligible person voting. The FBI is focused on protecting the election from possible threats and will investigate voting fraud allegations. (Your News Now)
