AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Fiber Expansion: Kinetic says it has passed 2 million fiber premises across its 18-state footprint, with about half its customer base and revenue now tied to fiber—another sign of continued broadband buildout in North Carolina and beyond. Housing & Insurance Costs: New data highlights how homeowners insurance rate hikes are hitting hard in some states, while separate reporting points to steep water-damage costs for Asheville-area homeowners. Real Estate Rents: Yardi Matrix reports rent growth ticked up in May, but remains muted, with occupancy slipping to the lowest level since 2013. Energy & Gas Prices: GasBuddy price checks show regular and diesel prices staying volatile across multiple NC counties, with several local “lowest” deals reported for the week ending May 30. Policy & Power: The NC House advanced a data-center bill that also blocks Duke Energy from retiring coal or gas plants until nuclear approval—setting up a major fight over electricity costs. Workforce & Education: Halifax Community College was invited into a rural strategic planning institute aimed at strengthening workforce outcomes. Local Business/Community: Corvias Foundation awarded $50,000 in 2026 scholarships to employees’ children, reinforcing employee benefits tied to education.
