AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Black Lung Fight: Mine safety advocates say the federal agency meant to protect coal miners won’t act on a 2024 silica-dust rule, as new data projects black lung rates as high as 32.5% for miners with 25+ years underground in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia. Energy Prices: The national gas average slipped to $4.09, with August on track to set a new record as crude stays volatile. AI + Industry: WVU researchers are using AI to speed access to ecosystem health data from monitoring sensors, aiming to help scientists respond faster to droughts and wildfires. Local Investment: Glenville State University is set to dedicate a $26 million stadium and athletics complex, a major boost for rural Gilmer County. Food Security After Flooding: West Virginia got federal approval for a temporary SNAP waiver letting households in Lewis, Pleasants, Ritchie and Upshur counties buy hot foods through late September. Data Center Backlash: Residents in Putnam County raised health and pollution concerns at a meeting tied to a planned Google data center campus. Sports & Facilities: A new Glenville State stadium marks a $26 million investment, while West Virginia’s prison history continues to draw visitors as the old penitentiary becomes a tourist attraction.
