AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Severe Weather & Emergency Response: Mississippi declared a statewide State of Emergency as Tropical Storm Arthur remnants brought historic rainfall, flash-flood risk, and damage across at least 10 counties, with officials warning residents to stay alert for more storms. Flood Relief Logistics: The Mississippi National Guard Armory at the State Fairgrounds in Jackson will accept flood supplies (buckets, bleach, rags, paper towels, mops) on Saturday and Monday. Energy & Travel Costs: Gas prices eased as the national average for regular fell to $3.99 ahead of the Independence Day travel rush, with demand up and supply down. Agriculture Costs: The Fed’s Beige Book says farm conditions were mostly unchanged but cost pressures are rising, with fertilizer and fuel still elevated. Mississippi River & Shipping: Arkansas River tonnage rose sharply in May and is up nearly 11% through May, driven by sand/gravel/rock and stronger port-to-port traffic. Retail Expansion: Dollar General plans about 450 new stores in 2026, leaning into small towns and rural areas where larger chains have less reach. Workforce & Education: Mississippi State University received a $2.6M U.S. Department of Education grant aimed at workforce leadership in the Golden Triangle, drawing debate over duplication and efficiency.
