AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 minutes ago

Data-center fallout: Residents in Mason County say floodwater rushed onto their properties after stormwater controls at a data center construction site failed during heavy weekend rain, damaging garages, crawlspaces, and HVAC equipment—leaving families worried about what comes next. Power & permitting pressure: Across the country, xAI’s gas-burning AI plant near Memphis is drawing fresh scrutiny after a lawsuit and claims of rushed buildout without community input, spotlighting the growing “data-center crisis” around energy, pollution, and transparency. Industrial safety: A chemical tank rupture at a Washington paper and packaging plant killed at least one person and left nine missing, with recovery paused until the unstable tank is stabilized. Local wins: Upshur County secured a $12M AMLER award for a regional multi-sport complex, and Mon County schools moved quickly to address graduation weekend weather issues by lining up WVU’s Hope Coliseum for future ceremonies. Consumer watch: Gas prices remain volatile statewide, with Logan County premium hitting $5.14/gal in the week ending May 16. Policy & kids online: AG Nick Brown joined a coalition opposing the KIDS Act, arguing it would weaken state protections for children online.
