AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 minutes ago

Turnpike HQ Overhaul: West Virginia Parkways Authority has hired ZMM Architects and Engineers to redesign its new headquarters at the former Charleston Moose Lodge, after buying the building for $700,000 and budgeting about $8 million for renovations—aiming to improve ADA access and consolidate customer service. Tourism & Outdoor Recreation: Cedar Creek State Park in Gilmer County added a new “Almost Heaven” swing, joining more than 60 iconic swings across the state and feeding a statewide photo-and-bingo “Swingo” contest. Education & Stadium Construction: WVU Athletics says planning for the $150 million Milan Puskar Stadium West Tower Press Box is moving ahead, with construction managers named and fundraising underway for a hoped-for 2028 opening. Energy & Grid Pressure: FirstEnergy subsidiaries are asking the Public Service Commission to raise rates to cover a proposed $2 billion Monongalia County natural gas plant—critics warn it could end up powering future data centers. Renewables Procurement: Appalachian Power is seeking proposals for wind, solar, and renewable energy certificates, with a preference for projects in Virginia or eligible sites in West Virginia. Local Business & Finance: Grant County Bank announced it will transition its name and brand to Highlands Bank, with no change to ownership or services. Agriculture Workforce & Land Access: A McDowell County agribusiness land-access program is pushing forward after federal grant cancellation left rural farmers searching for a path ahead. Fuel Watch: GasBuddy reports Lincoln County’s lowest regular price at $4.35/gal for the week ending May 16, with statewide averages edging higher.
