AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Black Lung Crisis: A new report says black lung rates are the highest since the 1970s, with advocates pressing MSHA to lift its hold on a mine-dust rule and better protect working coal miners. Flood Risk & Resilience: West Virginia’s recent flash flooding is tied to intense summer storms, steep terrain, and narrow river valleys, renewing calls for long-term flood prevention and mitigation. Power & Transmission: West Virginia PSC staff asked for a pause or dismissal of NextEra’s MARL transmission line after route changes left some landowners out of the process and delayed field studies. Opioid Settlement Shift: West Virginia First Foundation says it will adjust operations after the state redirects future opioid settlement funds toward state and local governments, while claiming current redistribution plans continue. Education Connectivity: Doddridge County Schools is rolling out free home Wi‑Fi installation for students through Citynet, funded by federal programs and local investment. Energy Costs at the Pump: GasBuddy reports the lowest E85 price in Wood County at $3.06 and diesel lows in Mingo County at $4.99, highlighting ongoing fuel price volatility. Food Safety: Recent recalls include jalapeños, guacamole and salsas tied to salmonella, plus broader alerts for other recalled foods. Health Watch: Childhood immunization rates keep sliding, raising outbreak risk as measles coverage falls below herd-immunity targets. Industry & Deals: The Greenbrier’s ownership/control is shifting as Kennedy Lewis moves in with a 51% stake, adding a new chapter for the resort’s business operations.
