AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

State Budget: Gov. Josh Stein signed North Carolina’s $34B, two-year budget into law, including a 3% pay raise for state employees, the largest starting teacher pay bump in nearly 50 years, full Medicaid funding, and $700M for Hurricane Helene recovery in western NC—while also cutting more than 1,000 state jobs and eliminating the Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities. Education & Local Impact: The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education praised teacher and staff raises but warned one-time bonuses don’t replace long-term base pay and retirement gains. Environment & Industry: Waste Connections plans a PFAS treatment facility at its Anson Landfill in Polkton, targeting up to 50,000 gallons per day of leachate, as NC tightens PFAS monitoring. Food Safety: Publix recalled frozen GreenWise organic blueberries tied to an E. coli outbreak; the lot code 60401 (best by Feb. 9, 2028) was shipped to multiple states including NC. Business Growth: Your Pie is eyeing Wilmington for expansion, betting on year-round residents and UNC Wilmington demand. Healthcare Innovation: Playtime Edventures announced a national expansion of interactive pediatric therapy bedding used in 100+ hospitals.
