AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 minutes ago

Gas Prices: AAA reports regular gas is up about 23 cents over the past week, with the national average still around $4.52—prices remain elevated as global oil worries tied to the Strait of Hormuz keep pressure on the pump. Workforce & Manufacturing: Lexicon’s new welding robots are boosting output at the Prospect Steel plant in Blytheville, marking the first steel fabricator in Mississippi County using the automated line. Energy & Connectivity: Mississippi electric co-ops are pushing fiber expansion and affordability plans, while Southern Pine Electric’s media day highlighted aging infrastructure and rebate programs to help households manage summer bills. Health & Caregiving: New research from southern Mississippi suggests light and vigorous exercise can improve sleep quality for older adults with mild cognitive impairment, while moderate steady cardio may not help as much. Community & Education: Hattiesburg High is running a Going Beyond Apprenticeship tour for students, and TVA’s School Uplift program just awarded Coffeeville High a major energy-efficiency grant. Public Safety & Local News: Dan Fordice, son of former Gov. Kirk Fordice, died in a single-engine plane crash in Louisiana. Food & Consumer Choice: Georgia signed a law requiring restaurants to disclose imported shrimp, joining similar transparency moves already adopted in several Gulf states.
