Hello, neighbors. It's Thursday in Lakewood and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on the most important things happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Times of clouds and sun. High: 71 Low: 50.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Lakewood who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Lakewood Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in Lakewood:

1. Lakewood City Schools wants to upgrade its facility. The district has a request for qualifications (RFQ) for professional design services in connection with construction. Superintendent Maggie Niedzwiecki said the district is financially in good shape and is "not looking" to take money from the community for the project. (Cleveland.com)
2. On Tuesday, Oct. 4, members of the Justice Center Executive Steering Committee voted down the proposal to build the new Cuyahoga County Jail in the Industrial Valley area. The committee was worried about the environmental concerns for the people who would have to work and stay there. (Cleveland 19)
3. You can now buy old Lakewood street signs at an online auction! On GovDeals.com, bidding will start at $25 per sign, and the auction will close at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. (Cleveland.com)
