AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Local Data Center Backlash: A statewide survey found 53% of North Carolinians oppose data centers in their communities, with opposition cutting across many voter groups as more than 20 local governments wrestle with land use, power demand, water use, noise, and budgets. Public Safety: North Carolina State Highway Patrol says a second driver has been arrested in a fatal July 25 I-85 crash in Charlotte that killed 17-year-old Alex Rodriguez; investigators allege street racing, and both drivers are held without bond. Health & Community Support: ECU Health Bertie Hospital awarded $95,000 in grants to 16 nonprofits to expand access to care and address local needs across eastern North Carolina. Education Snapshot: Mitchell County’s only school district saw enrollment dip 2.2% in 2024-25, while Clay County Schools rose 1%—both figures tied to state DPI reporting. Sports (NWSL): Ally Sentnor scored in the 85th minute to earn Angel City a 1-1 draw with the Washington Spirit, while Houston beat the North Carolina Courage 3-2. Business/Media: Spectrum and Optimum announced a strategic deal to expand access to Spectrum News in Texas and North Carolina.
