AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Data Centers & Tax Policy: West Virginia’s Commerce Department is pitching a “Responsible Data Center Development Plan” that would route at least 50% of data-center revenue to cut—and eventually eliminate—the state income tax, aiming to turn AI-infrastructure backlash into statewide benefits. Business Investment: At the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce summit in White Sulphur Springs, Gov. Jim Morrisey announced more than $81 billion in new private investment, including NScale’s High Impact Data Center certification for a projected $69.2 billion Phase One and Starwood Digital Ventures’ $12 billion Mason County project. Energy & Grid: The same summit spotlighted energy strategy, with officials discussing how new power demand and generation plans could support growth. Manufacturing & Industry Leadership: Sen. Shelley Moore Capito highlighted coordination with manufacturers and chemical-industry leaders, plus efforts to diversify the economy using natural resources. Workforce & Education: WVU opened expanded, state-of-the-art dentistry clinics in Morgantown after an eight-figure renovation, funded largely by a $12.6 million federal award. Local Infrastructure Oversight: WVDEP issued a stormwater permit for the Sidewinder Raw Water Line, and reporting raises questions about whether local records and notifications were properly handled.
