1. Council approves industrial park rezoning (delgazette.com) — Delaware City Council has approved rezoning about 63 acres near London Road and Curtis Street to an industrial planned unit development, expanding the city’s industrial base. The change allows Fed One to pursue an eight-lot industrial park with a new access road, with detailed site plans still to come before any construction begins. 
2. Updates approved for Dog Shelter (delgazette.com) — County commissioners have approved funding and design changes for the Delaware County Dog Shelter’s new modular office building on County Home Road in Delaware, with construction expected to start in mid-July and last about three months. The project adjusts the building’s placement for septic and access issues and includes new furniture, while officials encourage residents to follow the shelter online for adoptable dogs and updates.
3. Grady Memorial dropping maternity care (delgazette.com) — Starting July 31, OhioHealth Grady Memorial Hospital in Delaware will stop offering inpatient maternity services, shifting most deliveries to Dublin Methodist and Riverside Methodist hospitals. Prenatal, postnatal, and gynecologic care will remain available locally in Delaware and nearby communities, and Grady’s emergency department will still handle urgent deliveries when necessary.
4. Plane crashes into home in southern Ohio, killing pilot (cleveland.com) — A Delaware pilot was killed Thursday when his single-engine plane crashed into a home shortly after takeoff near Portsmouth; the house burned but its occupants escaped unharmed. The Cirrus SR20 had been headed for Delaware and federal investigators are now examining what caused the aircraft to go down during its initial climb.
