Applications are now live from the Natural Resource Assistance Council, for communities to add some new green spaces. District 13 of the NRAC has $3.7 million in grants available for the Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Funding. Local governments and non-profit organizations can apply for grants to acquire land to preserve natural areas, preserve water quality and create recreational spaces. 

Some changes are coming to downtown Kenton. A groundbreaking ceremony was held for the first phase of a water and sewer renovation project, which will involve replacing those lines from the Detroit State Bridge to Ohio Street. This project is one that has been a long time coming for the city: "We have very aged infrastructure in Kenton; we have not had an undertaking for a project like this in decades, pushing a century," said Joel Althauser, City of Kenton Council President.
