📰 News we're reading
• Monthly update from York County Development Corporation (justmelaniew.com) — York County Development Corporation reports active work on business recruitment, small-business data tools, and housing and infrastructure planning to keep York County competitive. The update highlights leadership programs, regional storytelling like the 17-County Podcast, and invitations for residents and employers to engage directly in shaping York’s economic future. 
• Commissioners table decision on termination of mapping contract (justmelaniew.com) — York County officials are weighing whether to drop a paid mapping contract now that their new Vanguard system can provide similar services at no extra cost. Assessor Kurt Bulgrin says ending the Sam-Surveying and Mapping deal could save $6,100 and help expand online public access, but commissioners delayed a final decision while they compare software options.
• Groundwater Level Decreases Slightly, Remans Above Allocation Trigger (heartlandbeat.com) — Groundwater levels measured from York and across the Upper Big Blue NRD dipped slightly this spring but remain safely above the allocation trigger, meaning no pumping restrictions are planned for the 2027 irrigation season. Local irrigators benefit from improved technologies and careful water use, which helped keep average 2025 groundwater usage below the long-term district average.
