1. Bryan City Council approves $65M for capital improvements for FY 2026-27 (communityimpact.com) — Bryan City Council has approved $65 million in capital improvement funding for the 2026-27 fiscal year, staying under its $70 million cap. City leaders say the money will support ongoing infrastructure and development projects while continued strong bidding and lower interest rates help the city manage its debt load. 
2. Bryan police nab alleged drug dealer (star-telegram.com) — Bryan police arrested a local man on Finfeather Road after reportedly finding cocaine, K2, and Ecstasy packaged for distribution in his car. Officers say he resisted detention before being taken to Brazos County Jail, where he now faces multiple manufacture/delivery and interference charges with bonds totaling $78,000.
3. Downtown Bryan business owners react to parking ordinance changes (kbtx.com) — New two-hour parking limits are coming to Main Street and other downtown Bryan streets, with free but time-enforced spots monitored weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Starting around July 1, drivers who overstay could face fines beginning at $35, a change city leaders say should keep spaces turning over for shoppers and diners.
4. Gov. Abbott orders data centers to pay own power grid costs as rural counties face limited authority (kwtx.com) — From Bryan, state leaders are moving to make large data centers pay their own power-grid connection costs, with Gov. Abbott directing regulators to protect residential bills. The report explains how cities like Bryan can use zoning while nearby rural counties, including Robertson, have far fewer tools and must rely on careful tax-abatement negotiations.
5. Bryan man arrested on family violence assault charge (star-telegram.com) — Police say a Bryan man was arrested after a woman reported being choked and injured during a domestic dispute at The Retreat apartments on Providence Avenue. Officers noted visible injuries, reviewed an audio recording, and booked the suspect into Brazos County Jail on a felony family-violence assault charge that could carry up to 10 years in prison.
