📰 News we're reading

• The new effort to restore the Anacostia River: transparency (thebanner.com) — Cottage City sits along the Anacostia River, where new high-tech sensors are now tracking real-time water quality to guide future cleanup and recreation. Regional river groups and Prince George’s County partners hope the public dashboard will build trust, inform policy, and eventually make nearby stretches safe again for fishing, paddling, and maybe one day swimming.
