The U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a Texas abortion clinic law likely will affect Ohio, which has similar requirements in place.

Cooper Park in downtown Dayton is a pretty straightforward proposition — a square of grass, shade trees, and a statue of President William McKinley. It gets plenty of use during downtown festivals and parades as a quiet refuge from the crowds. The expansion of the Dayton Metro Library is encroaching on an estimated 20 percent of the...

Libraries across the state have spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars in a few years on massive renovations and new buildings, transforming heavily used public facilities into civic showpieces that offer much more than books, according to the State Library of Ohio. Since 2010, in an era when many voters say they are fed up with government...

As work continues in the final stages of the Interstate 75 rebuild through downtown Dayton, there will be overnight lane closures this week. They’ll be on I-75 south between Main Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard; on I-75 north between Stanley Avenue and Wagner Ford Road; and on I-75 south between Dixie Drive and SR 725. Here are...
