• Lower Salford woman jailed after security vehicle stolen from Longwood Gardens in Chester, police say (northpennnow.com) — Police arrested a Lower Salford woman in Radnor Township after she allegedly stole a security vehicle from Longwood Gardens and led officers on a multi-county search. She's now jailed on numerous felony and misdemeanor charges, with a preliminary hearing set for Sept. 23. The same woman is also in a separate Montgomery County theft case involving a phone at Valley Forge Casino.
   

• Northeastern Loses Eminent Domain Fight (insidehighered.com) — A recent Massachusetts court ruling over Northeastern University's land in Nahant is prompting fresh attention to town-gown clashes like Radnor Township's short-lived eminent domain threat against Valley Forge Military College earlier this year. While Radnor ultimately backed off seizing 17 acres, the case is cited as part of a national pattern of local governments pushing back on campus expansion and large institutional projects.
