AGP Executive Report

Last update: 19 minutes ago

Cash App Settlement: North Carolina AG Jeff Jackson announced a multistate deal with Block/Cash App over fraud failures, alleging the app marketed safety like a bank while using light identity checks, limited support, and promotions that scammers could exploit; the settlement includes up to $165M in consumer relief and about $1M for NC. Local Business Disruption: Wrightsville Beach businesses are asking for more details as NCDOT moves toward a $105M bridge replacement project expected to run through late 2032, with owners worried about traffic, access, and lost revenue during construction. Flood Risk for Budgets: Moody’s warns the U.S. flood insurance gap will squeeze local governments and homeowners as storms intensify, development expands in flood zones, and federal aid tightens—costs often shift to property taxes and public services. Energy Prices Watch: GasBuddy data shows NC fuel prices easing around the July 4 week, with regular gas lows like $3.13 in Cumberland County and diesel lows around $4.17 in Nash County. Green Materials Startup: Oxford-based Plantd says it’s developing structural building panels from perennial grass to replace engineered wood, aiming to cut reliance on timber while fitting into existing construction workflows.
