AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Congress & Ethics: Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) dropped his re-election bid after a House ethics panel recommended censure over allegations of inappropriate conduct with staff, leaving the N.C. GOP scrambling to fill the 11th District ballot vacancy. State Policy & Housing: North Carolina lawmakers sent Gov. Josh Stein a sweeping Regulatory Reform Act that would expand accessory dwelling units in many areas and create portable benefit accounts for independent contractors, alongside changes to dozens of business, environmental and public safety rules. Life Sciences Jobs: STERIS will invest $600 million in Sanford to build a Chemistries Manufacturing Center of Excellence, creating at least 335 jobs by 2030. Energy & Data Centers: Duke Energy says its data center pipeline grew by 2.7GW since late 2025, with 5GW under construction and more load expected to come online starting in 2027–2028. Environment & Permitting: NC DEQ is moving mining permit applications onto its AccessDEQ portal, letting businesses track status, upload documents and pay online. Food & Health: Publix reported slower sales growth in Q2 and cut its stock price, while NC-linked updates continue around the broader cyclospora outbreak and related recalls. Local Business & Community: Fayetteville’s Defense Innovation Center aims to keep Fort Bragg talent and connect military expertise with private tech firms, and Elon/Queens University won ABA approval to launch a new Charlotte law school.
