1. Mound Road from I-696 to 8 Mile in Warren to be resurfaced this year (detroitnews.com) — Mound Road between 8 Mile and just south of I-696 in Warren will be resurfaced this spring or summer in a $2.5 million, four-to-five-week project to tackle long-neglected potholes. Funded mostly by the state with a small city-county share, the work is a short-term fix ahead of a larger reconstruction that will affect commuters, residents, and workers near the Warren Truck Assembly plant. 
2. Warren police investigate a series of six church break-ins that left behind shattered glass and damage (wxyz.com) — Warren police are investigating six recent break-ins at five local churches, where doors and stained glass windows were smashed and offices ransacked around Easter. Investigators believe one suspect on a blue beach cruiser bike is responsible and are asking residents to share any tips that could help protect these congregations and the wider community.
3. Consumers Energy Breaks Ground on Four Cities Metro Pipeline Project (dbusiness.com) — Natural gas pipelines running through Warren are being replaced as part of Consumers Energy’s new Four Cities Metro Pipeline project, upgrading 1950s-era lines and affecting local streets during construction. Work starts this year in Royal Oak, Clawson, and Warren, creating over 100 jobs annually and aiming to improve safety and reliability for hundreds of thousands of nearby homes and businesses through 2029.
4. House passes legislation that would require proof of citizenship to vote (legalnews.com) — Michigan lawmakers have advanced bills tightening voter citizenship proof and restricting voting systems, with Warren’s state Rep. Mai Xiong breaking ranks to support one security-focused measure. The House also backed a fix to prevent double collection of sales tax on delivery-app purchases. These decisions could shape how Warren residents vote and how local businesses handle app-based sales.
5. Woods-Tower fights off Utica Ford for court sweep (macombdaily.com) — Warren’s own Warren Woods-Tower boys volleyball team is off to a strong 7-1 start in its first season as an official varsity sport, sweeping Utica Ford on Thursday. Led by returners like senior Derek Aikens and junior John Yang, the Titans are quickly becoming one of the area’s more competitive boys volleyball programs under coach Aaron Nitz.
