AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Workforce & Tourism: Gov. Patrick Morrisey says West Virginia’s Tourism Works has topped 25,000 microcredentials and 1,000 college credit hours since launching in March 2025, with more than 4,000 residents enrolled—aimed at filling roughly 21,000 tourism job openings each year. Energy & Manufacturing: Form Energy secured $750 million in new equity to expand its West Virginia iron-air battery plant in Weirton, targeting longer-duration power storage for growing data-center demand. Food Safety: Walmart recalled more than 3,000 Marketside Tomato Bisque Soup Kits in 29 states, including West Virginia, after routine testing showed a presumptive listeria contamination; no confirmed illnesses reported. Public Safety Tech: West Virginia lawmakers are weighing concerns over Flock license-plate cameras, including privacy, security, and how local police use the data. Local Business/Community: Sioux Honey Co-op and Giant Eagle donated 4,860 pounds of honey to Pittsburgh’s 412 Food Rescue to support families facing food insecurity. Data Centers: Morrisey defended the state’s “Responsible Data Center Development Plan,” saying it builds on existing law while facing skepticism from opponents.
