AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Housing Affordability: A new analysis says North Carolina’s housing shortage is masking a much bigger affordability crisis, with a projected 764,000-unit gap by 2029 and median home prices around $381,000—leaving many households needing years of labor just to buy. PFAS / Legal: A major “forever chemicals” case tied to Chemours in Cumberland County has settled out of court, ending a long wait for thousands of plaintiffs suing over GenX contamination. Data Centers / Local Power: The AI data center boom is colliding with rural reality in Edgecombe County, where residents and commissioners debate whether to ban or slow major projects as energy and environmental concerns rise. Transportation Planning: NCDOT is asking the public to help set priorities for the state’s next long-range transportation capital plan, feeding into a 2028–2037 schedule. Workforce & Education: Robeson County is moving ahead with a grand opening for its new Career and Technical Education Center and Planetarium/Science Center, aimed at industry-aligned pathways. Construction Demand: A Waxhaw builder says multi-generational housing demand is driving ADU and guest house growth across the Charlotte region. Energy Resilience: After Hurricane Helene, western NC communities are pushing microgrids and solar-plus-storage upgrades to keep critical services running during outages.
