The Ohio Housing Finance Agency’s recent announcement means that plans to build a 60-unit apartment complex — one that would have provided rentals for individuals who fall between 30% and 80% of the area median income — are now stalled indefinitely.

Located at 888 Dayton St., suite 111, Vytality Blu was launched by area residents Paul Adongo and Jennifer Phillips late last year with a simple goal — to make Yellow Springs residents healthier in body and mind.

Responding to sizable public dissatisfaction regarding the 128-unit density on the two acres at the Antioch College student union site, Windsor CEO Alex Dorsey proposed, near the end of the most recent Planning Commission meeting, a reduction to 96 units at that location.

Over those 98 years, the hardware store — first Deaton’s, then Downing’s and later Yellow Springs Hardware — has only changed hands four times, and all the while, it’s been the downtown outlet for bits and bobs, birdseed and bolts, chess matches and chit chat.

That executive order, titled “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Biased Media,” could mean Yellow Springs-based NPR member station 91.3 WYSO loses $300,000 in expected funds for its upcoming fiscal year.

At the most recent Village Council meeting, Monday, May 5, the group authorized a resolution that could soon grow Yellow Springs’ physical size by 84 acres — the latest effort of several in recent months to expand municipal limits.

Launched in 2014 by village resident Jonathan Platt, Story Chain’s mission is to give inmates in area correctional facilities the opportunity to read children’s books aloud to their own kids — albeit from some distance, and from behind bars.

In the next two months, the Miami Valley Educational Computer Association, or MVECA, is set to merge with the Miami Valley Communications Council, a municipal communications and IT organization from Centerville.

If passed, Issue 2 would amend the Ohio Constitution to allow the state to issue bonds or other obligations to finance or assist in public infrastructure projects at the local level — including here in Yellow Springs.

At the previous Village Council meeting, the group had considered exempting Yellow Springs residents from having to pay for public records requests of police footage; at the most recent meeting, Monday, April 21, Council members decided against that exemption by majority vote.
