Preble County • September 30, 2025
Good morning, Preble County. The Miami Valley's caffeine landscape is shifting faster than you can say "extra shot" as 7 Brew coffee chain announces its sixth regional location in Miamisburg. This rapid expansion, following their first Dayton opening earlier this year, shows the Midwest's apparently insatiable thirst for drive-thru espresso options—a trend that continues to reshape local morning routines.
Community collaboration has transformed Lewisburg's Community Park with impressive new basketball and pickleball courts worth $100,000. When state funding fell through, determination prevailed as village officials, Harrison Township, and local contractors like Steve Booso (who donated labor) joined forces to complete the project. Meanwhile, Richmond police are investigating after a man was found with a chest gunshot wound early Saturday morning, though authorities assure residents there's no ongoing threat to public safety as they continue gathering evidence.

🏀 Lewisburg unveils new courts through remarkable community collaboration. The $100,000 project in Community Park features both basketball and pickleball courts, funded by village and Harrison Township ARPA money.

Municipal Manager Jeff Sewert praised the partnership, noting that while a state grant application failed in 2024, determined local officials and businesses stepped up to make the courts the park's "number one priority."
