• Cielo Supermarket chooses Pittsburg for their second location (contracostaherald.com) — A long-vacant Highlands Square anchor spot on Buchanan Road is now home to Cielo Supermarket, bringing a full-service grocery back to Pittsburg with fresh produce, a taqueria, bakery, and more. Backed by a city-approved incentive and strong neighborhood advocacy, the family-owned store is positioned as Cielo's flagship and a major convenience boost for local shoppers.
   

• Link Crew Helps Freshmen Find Their Footing at Middle College (ccpulse.org) — Middle College High School students in West Contra Costa are using the Link Crew mentorship program, first piloted by teacher Stephen Ross at Pittsburg High School, to support incoming freshmen on the Contra Costa College campus. Upperclassmen pair with ninth graders for yearlong guidance, helping them manage dual-enrollment workloads, avoid burnout, and build confidence in a demanding academic environment.
   

• Bay Area cities shut the door to new data centers (sfchronicle.com) — Pittsburg residents are pushing city and county officials to halt a previously approved 99-megawatt data center that would add dozens of diesel backup generators near a middle school. Their fight is part of a broader California backlash, as cities consider moratoriums over concerns about pollution, noise, and potential impacts on utility rates from the AI-driven data center boom.
