Akron mayor Dan Horrigan joins the Ray Horner Morning Show each Thursday morning around 7:10, and he answers the most pressing questions the residents have, especially with everything virus-related happening both locally and abroad.

Horrigan first talked about the continued development and projects happening in the greater Akron area, especially in the Merriman and Cascade vallies. On the topic of projects, the Central Interchange will be a burden for motorists until 2023, but he says August is the time to conduct these projects with the weather being so nice.

The other major topic has been the Delta variant and its spread throughout nearly every community, and Akron is no different. Horrigan has his concerns, though he does say it is "a disease of the unvaccinated." He continues to encourage the unvaccinated to get their shots, and he says they are widely available for those who want them.
