• Nixa City Council considering bonds for infrastructure projects (ksmu.org) — Nixa officials are weighing nearly $20 million in bonds to upgrade the city’s water and wastewater systems, including a new water tower on Ashley Drive and a new lift station. The proposed debt would be the largest in city history and add significant annual costs to Nixa’s water and wastewater funds, but leaders say it’s needed for long-term infrastructure improvements. 
• Hard work in weight room led Avery Muniz to Nixa's shot-put record, Division I scholarship (sgfcitizen.org) — Nixa High School thrower Avery Muniz has turned years of weight-room work into a school shot-put record and a Division I scholarship to Southeast Missouri State.
