Township trustees approved a new policy that lets residents drive golf carts on select roads with 25 mph limits.

Hamilton County commissioners approved a $14.3 million plan to replace general admission seating at Paycor Stadium, using funds from a lease with the Bengals that caps taxpayer liability.
