📰 News we're reading
• City eyes $27 million improvements to city's century-old drinking water system (northcountrynow.com) — Ogdensburg is preparing a roughly $27 million overhaul of its century‑old drinking water system, aiming to act before federal regulators force costly changes. City leaders hope grants and low‑interest loans will cover much of the work, but residents could still feel long‑term impacts as detailed engineering, funding decisions, and construction plans take shape. 
• Ogdensburg leaders say public notices should appear on city's website, rather than in local newspapers (northcountrynow.com) — Ogdensburg’s City Council has voted to back a state bill that would let the city post required public notices on its own website instead of paying to run them in local newspapers. Supporters say this could cut costs and modernize outreach, while critics worry about residents without reliable internet and the financial hit to local news outlets that still reach many St. Lawrence County readers.
• Ogdensburg to seek funding for Hamilton park rehabilitation honoring the late Chuck Kelly (northcountrynow.com) — Ogdensburg officials are exploring nearly $1 million in upgrades to Hamilton Street Park, aiming to use a state NY PLAYS grant and local sports court investment to fund the project. If approved, the park could gain new inclusive play areas, upgraded courts, and accessibility improvements, potentially being dedicated to late Journal publisher Charles Kelly, a longtime supporter of recreation.
