Good morning, Preble County. Tucked beneath High Street in Oxford, a quarter-century celebration of authentic German culture is brewing at Steinkeller. This underground Bavarian haven imports beer directly from Munich, brewed according to Germany's centuries-old Beer Purity Law, while fostering the communal atmosphere that has made it an Oxford institution since 1999. The cozy beer hall stands as living proof that sometimes the best local treasures are hiding just below our feet.
Fall's familiar dance of colorful leaves is triggering citywide collection plans, with Englewood, Clayton, and Union all announcing their pickup schedules running October through early December. Meanwhile, Lewisburg officials are eyeing federal infrastructure funds as a potential solution for deteriorating sections of State Route 503, with Municipal Manager Jeff Sewert pursuing $285,000 in assistance that would require just a 20% village match—a practical approach to addressing crumbling roads before winter arrives.

🛣️ Small Ohio village eyes federal funds for crumbling roads. Lewisburg Council approved a resolution to seek Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding for deteriorating sections of State Route 503. Municipal Manager Jeff Sewert is applying for $285,000 with a 20% village match, calling it "free money" compared to using local funds. The repairs would be conducted by ODOT-selected contractors, with the village only managing the finances. The IIJA, a $1.2 trillion investment signed by President Biden in 2021, funds various infrastructure needs including transportation, broadband, and power grid improvements.
