• Radnor officials continue to struggle to find space for a district court (delcotimes.com) — Radnor Township is still struggling to secure an affordable in-town site for its magisterial district court, which now operates from Newtown Square. Officials say high commercial rents and county budget limits are major obstacles, leaving police traveling out of Radnor for hearings and driving overtime costs while residents await a decision on a suitable location.

• Radnor BOC discusses plans to renovate historic Creutzburg Center (mainlinemedianews.com) — Radnor Township officials are weighing a $4 million renovation of the historic Creutzburg Center in Harford Park, which has long housed Main Line School Night. Commissioners have delayed approving nearly $500,000 in design work amid cost concerns, even as an $800,000 matching grant for interior upgrades depends on the township first funding critical exterior repairs and accessibility improvements.
