• Flock camera debate in Newport (wkyt.com) — Newport officials are weighing whether to keep using Flock license-plate cameras, after residents pressed them on privacy, data control, and how long information is stored. Police leaders say the cameras only capture vehicle details to help solve crimes, and city leaders promise more public input before any decision affecting Newport neighborhoods is made. 
• Brighton Properties breaks ground for new 12-unit residential development in Newport (nkytribune.com) — A new 12-unit affordable housing development called June Gardens is breaking ground in Newport, adding one-, two-, and three-bedroom units on and near Ann Street. Run by Brighton Properties and Brighton Center, the project will pair income-aligned housing with rental assistance, coaching, and wraparound services. Local leaders say it addresses documented housing shortages and supports long-term family stability.
