AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

SNAP Policy Shift: West Virginia’s Department of Human Services says it’s pausing its SNAP “Healthy Choices” waiver after a federal court ruling, meaning sweetened, carbonated beverages are again eligible for purchase with EBT while the state and USDA evaluate next steps. Energy & Pipeline Safety: Mountain Valley Pipeline defended its proposed Swann compressor station in a letter to FERC, arguing the project is needed for energy and economic security as opponents raise safety and air-permit concerns. Data Center Backlash: A new report says environmental harm is projected for Google-linked and Microsoft-linked data center sites in Putnam and Mason counties, with wetlands and threatened species at the center of the dispute. Public Safety Tech: Monongalia County commissioners faced renewed scrutiny over Flock automated license plate readers, with residents questioning civil liberties and the use of opioid settlement funds. Tourism Leadership: Tourism Secretary Chelsea Ruby will depart at the end of July as Gov. Morrisey announces leadership changes. Workforce & Industry Growth: PowerFlo Solutions plans a $20M expansion tied to data-center electrical components, projecting 120–200 jobs. Health Access: A national survey finds limited access to high-flow home oxygen is delaying hospital discharges and driving up costs. Agriculture Drought Relief: Morgan County is among drought-designated counties eligible for USDA emergency loan assistance.
