1. Mobile to host community workshop on Downtown Development District update (mynbc15.com) — City leaders are asking Mobile residents to help shape the future of downtown by weighing in on updates to the Downtown Development District code at a public workshop on September 2.

2. MAWSS set to complete latest phase of sewer overflow mitigation project (fox10tv.com) — Mobile's water utility is wrapping up a major sewer overflow mitigation project featuring massive storage tanks near Eslava Creek, designed to keep wastewater out of local creeks and rivers.

3. Missouri students get hands-on marine science training at Dauphin Island Sea Lab (utv44.com) — Students from Missouri are on the Gulf Coast working with Dauphin Island Sea Lab scientists and a University of South Alabama professor to practice real-world marine research.
