• Bedford clears way for state's new juvenile justice campus (cleveland.com) — Bedford City Council has unanimously approved plans for a new state-run juvenile justice campus on Rockside Road, moving the long-discussed project into the construction phase. The Ohio Department of Youth Services will convert a former U.S. Bank building into a smaller, campus-style facility meant to improve safety and rehabilitation, though one council member noted research on such models is still inconclusive. 
• DIY Decorative Fabric-Covered Storage Cans (bedfordohio.org) — If you’re looking to tidy up your Bedford home before fall, this easy craft turns empty coffee or food cans into charming, fabric-covered storage containers. With simple supplies and kid-friendly steps, families can create custom organizers for school supplies, kitchen tools, or toys while giving everyday items a second life.
