Although buried in the article, the Village Charter seems pretty clear about encouraging citizen comments during work sessions, the shift away from allowing input from Villagers - which started at the end of 2023 - is disturbing.

So great to see this happen and that the Village had the foresight to establish a Green Space Fund to support such vital initiatives!

A 185-acre farm along Dayton-Yellow Springs Road is actively under contract for purchase by a local family who is working with local farm conservation nonprofit Tecumseh Land Trust to place a conservation easement on the entire farm, thus precluding any future attempts to develop the land in any way
