1. Yellow Springs foundation looks to community to shape possible Tom's Market co-op (wyso.org) — Tom’s Market is on track to be purchased by the Yellow Springs Community Foundation in June, with a two-year process planned to explore turning it into a community-owned co-op. Organizers are forming a resident steering committee, planning open houses, and stressing that villagers will help decide whether a co-op or another shared-ownership model best preserves this essential local grocery. 
2. 2026 Porchfest organizers seek musicians, porches (ysnews.com) — Yellow Springs residents now have a chance to sign up as musicians, porch hosts, or sponsors for this year’s YS Porchfest, set for Saturday, Sept. 19. Organizers, now under the YS Arts Council, say last year’s revival proved how much the village cherishes the roaming, porch-to-porch music day, and they’re especially seeking more diverse performers and creative performance spaces across town.
3. Miami Township Board of Trustees Public Hearing (ysnews.com) — Miami Township trustees will hold a public hearing Monday, April 20, at 5 p.m. at 101 E. Herman St. in Yellow Springs to review several proposed zoning text amendments. Residents can attend to comment or contact Zoning Administrator Bryan Lucas for copies of the changes and to submit written testimony.
