📰 News we're reading
• Fayette commissioners approve new county branding, review county projects (recordherald.com) — Fayette County commissioners in Washington Court House have approved a new countywide branding and wayfinding plan that will shape signage and visual identity for both the county and the city. They also advanced key infrastructure work, including landfill expansion, airport improvements, and a grant application for road paving and Bogus Road bridge replacement, while rejecting costly renovation bids for a Main Street building. 
• A new way forward: Highland County drug court helps WCH woman find sobriety (timesgazette.com) — A Washington Court House woman's 14 months of sobriety and fresh start are being credited to her participation in Highland County's New Way to Recovery Drug Court and counseling at Fayette County's Scioto Paint Valley Mental Health Center clinic. Her story highlights how local treatment programs, court oversight, and family support helped her move from repeated arrests and addiction toward stable work, housing, and repaired relationships.
• Is Chapel Blue the New Green? (flyernews.com) — Electricity for the University of Dayton will now come from a waste-heat-to-power system tied to a natural gas compressor station on the Rockies Express Pipeline in Washington Court House. The project, run by Tallgrass with power distributed by AES Ohio, turns otherwise wasted heat into carbon-free electricity, significantly cutting the university's emissions without changing local residents' daily routines.
