The same roundup notes a new Wayfair Outlet in Dublin, major energy projects for New Albany data centers, and student housing planned at a former OSU pizza landmark. 
• DACC recognized for protecting student data privacy (delgazette.com) — Delaware Area Career Center has earned a new national Trusted Learning Environment Mini Seal for Classroom Practice, highlighting its work to safeguard student data. The recognition underscores how DACC teachers, tech staff, and leaders promote safe, responsible use of classroom technology and clear communication with families about how student information is protected.
• Grady Memorial shutters labor and delivery department in Delaware County (dispatch.com subscription) — Expectant parents in Delaware are losing local labor and delivery services after OhioHealth closed Grady Memorial Hospital’s maternity unit on July 31, cutting or moving 37 jobs. Local leaders, including a Delaware City Council member and longtime Grady physician, warn the closure will lengthen travel times for births, reduce access for Medicaid patients, and reflect a broader trend of hospital consolidation they want lawmakers to regulate.
