AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Mobile River Bridge Financing: Alabama’s biggest infrastructure push just got a major boost as the project secured a historic $2.52B federal loan, with required toll rates set to rise automatically each year—moving construction closer to the start line. Industrial Development: Alabama’s SEEDS program is funding site readiness in DeKalb County, with grants for Collinsville and Fyffe industrial parks aimed at attracting new jobs and companies. Workforce & Education: Walker County is adding $12M more in state support for the Heman Drummond Center of Innovation in Jasper, expected to replace the county’s Center of Technology and expand training for local students. Manufacturing Support: The Alabama Training Network awarded $2.19M to keep serving as the state’s Manufacturing Extension Partnership center. Agriculture Security: Rep. Dale Strong’s agroterrorism preparedness bill cleared the House unanimously, directing DHS to run nationwide exercises to protect the food and agriculture supply chain. Local Government Budgeting: Cullman adopted a $158.8M FY2027 budget, including $58.4M for the General Fund and funding for water and sewer. Business/Trade Politics: A Wall Street Journal report says Sen. Katie Britt privately sought tariff exemptions for Alabama firms while publicly backing the tariffs. Energy/Environment Policy: The EPA is pushing more plastic into new products, while paper industry groups fight back over how “advanced recycling” should be treated.
