Opposition Withdrawn Reversal on South End Public Housing
The Middletown Human Relations Council reversed a 1970 policy opposing South End public projects during a council meeting. Officials said the move could unlock about $2 million in federal funds for scattered housing sites, with discussion shifting to channel Vannest Riverview funds to South End projects. City planners note potential sites and drainage costs, while the housing authority seeks alternate locations.

Springboro Cites Ongoing Break in River Twinned Water Line
Springboro officials report a break under the Great Miami River disrupts water service used by Clearcreek and Pennyroyal schools. Mayor James Eyler says Franklin system supplies the water, pumps run from a Clearcreek Township location 800 feet from a Franklin hydrant, and excavation may require sinking a tile to reach the leak.
