AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Mine Safety & Health: MSHA asked a federal appeals court to keep the Biden-era black lung silica dust rule in legal limbo, extending uncertainty for miners as new research points to black lung reaching its highest levels in decades—while West Virginia lawmakers stayed quiet on black lung pay. Power & Industry: A fight over control of the Pleasants Power Station escalated as Omnis Fuel Technologies moved to dismiss Omnis Pleasants’ Chapter 11 case or appoint a trustee, arguing the bankruptcy was filed in bad faith to block governance rights. Permitting & Clean Energy: DEP approved an air permit for Clean-Seas’ advanced recycling pyrolysis plant in Belle despite community opposition over air quality, tourism impacts, and proximity to schools. Tourism & Jobs: Gov. Morrisey announced $3.2 million in final funding for Wheeling’s Gateway Center visitor and heritage complex, targeting 175,000 annual visitors and 87 permanent jobs. Workforce & Training: WVU’s fall semester kicked off with a new Bachelor of Science in Construction Management, while a separate STEM push highlighted a mobile “Tinker Tank” makerspace program funded by the Delta Regional Authority. Local Economy & Housing: A new analysis found home prices rose faster than incomes in every state, widening a national affordability gap to 42.67%. Opioid Funding: WV AG J.B. McCuskey shifted future opioid settlement dollars away from the West Virginia First Foundation model toward direct state and local government control. Food & Consumer: Walmart tomato bisque soup kits were recalled in 29 states over possible Listeria contamination.
