AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

School Construction: North Carolina districts face nearly $18 billion in facility needs over five years, up 37% from the previous survey. New school construction now costs an estimated $350 per square foot, while renovations make up the larger share of projected spending. Agriculture & Water: Drought is intensifying in central and eastern North Carolina, prompting water-conservation calls as farmers feel the effects. Transportation: Federal funding is headed to planned Western North Carolina rail service, while the state approved tolls for four previously free ferry routes starting in 2027. Workforce: Gov. Josh Stein expanded the Child Care WAGE$ program in counties hit by Hurricane Helene, aiming to support the early-childhood workforce. Business Investment: Food Lion announced a $270 million investment in Greensboro and Triad stores; Italy-based Bracco also plans manufacturing operations in Sanford.
