AGP Executive Report

Last update: 27 minutes ago

Aviation Safety: Federal investigators and the NTSB are digging into the deadly Amazon Air cargo crash at Miami International Airport, where a Boeing 767 overran the runway and struck vehicles; NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said all five victims were in a van tied to an airport cleaning contractor, with the wreckage spread across a wide area. North Carolina Economy: A new CNBC “America’s Top States for Business” ranking puts North Carolina second overall but No. 1 for the economy category, citing strong fundamentals like an Aaa credit rating and major anchors such as Duke Energy and Labcorp. Workers & Pay: Oxfam’s latest “best states to work” assessment ranks North Carolina 52nd, pointing to issues like a $7.25 minimum wage and lack of state-guaranteed paid sick leave or paid family/medical leave. Tech & Telecom: India has joined a US-led alliance of 25 countries to shape next-gen 6G networks, with talks tied to the G20 Innovation Ministerial hosted in Chapel Hill. Local Business & Growth: Raleigh-based TARGAN, an AI hatchery tech firm, says it’s expanding its global footprint after a deal to be acquired by Merck Animal Health, with systems now operating across multiple countries. Energy Prices: GasBuddy reports show North Carolina regular gas averaging $3.73 per gallon for the week ending Aug. 29, with county-level lows like $3.59 in Madison County. Tourism Recovery: A new report says western North Carolina’s outdoor tourism is rebounding two years after Hurricane Helene, with visitor spending losses slowing after a sharp drop in the most impacted counties. Workplace Safety on the Road: Wilmington police say two pedestrian deaths over Labor Day weekend are renewing concerns about nonmotorist safety on busy corridors, as the city pushes Vision Zero.
