AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

PFAS Accountability: Regulators secured a $450 million settlement with Chemours over “forever chemicals” pollution tied to plants in New Jersey, North Carolina and West Virginia, including a $22.5 million penalty and major long-term spending on discharge controls and drinking-water cleanup. Education Funding Fight: A fresh pushback on the Leandro education remedies highlights the ongoing standoff between court orders and legislative funding, with critics pointing to NC’s low per-student spending as the root problem. Sports Betting Dollars: UNC and NC State may finally get a share of sports wagering tax revenue under a proposed budget distribution change, potentially adding up to $5.8 million annually starting July 1, 2027. Small-Business Boost: Duke Energy Foundation awarded a $25,000 grant to the Stokes County Arts Council to back small businesses with awards up to $5,000. Local Business Growth: Provalus IT is set to create 61 jobs after renovating a former department store in Edenton, part of a broader state push that includes rural downtown lighting grants. Energy Expansion: Idaho Power is buying output from Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions’ Jackpot Solar Project, a 120-megawatt facility expected to power about 24,000 homes—another sign of renewable buildout tied to long-term contracts.
