AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Rural Jobs Boost: Gov. Josh Stein’s Rural Infrastructure Authority approved eight local grant requests totaling $4.09M, tied to 396 jobs and more than $126.2M in expected project investment across rural North Carolina. Housing Antitrust Fallout: North Carolina’s AG-led antitrust fight over RealPage rent-inflation algorithms hit another milestone as a $7M settlement was announced with property manager LivCor, with limits on using competitively sensitive pricing data. Data Center Backlash: Brunswick County commissioners voiced opposition to new data center development, citing utility strain and limited local benefits, as the state advances the Ratepayer Protection Act. Legal Watch: A North Carolina Business Court judge narrowed a dispute over a stalled development deal, trimming claims deemed too “thin” to proceed. Food Safety: Clover Hill Dairy expanded a recall to include all its cheese brands due to possible Listeria contamination. Workforce Funding: Pell Grants are set to expand to eligible short-term job training programs starting July 1, 2026, including fields like nursing, trucking, welding, and HVAC. Local Business Growth: FG Communities bought a manufactured housing community in Waynesville, betting on western NC’s demand for affordable housing. Public Safety: Duke Energy will test outdoor nuclear warning sirens around the Catawba and McGuire stations on July 1.
