AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Consumer Protection: Alabama joined the FTC and 19 other states in suing Dollar General, alleging the chain repeatedly charged customers more at checkout than advertised prices and failed to fix the problem. Agriculture Research: Dothan is in talks to host a fertilizer research hub tied to a $40 million federal investment in a lab led by Auburn University and the International Fertilizer Development Center. Manufacturing Growth: INFAC opened an Auburn facility backed by an investment of more than $30 million, with 120 jobs planned. Nucor also announced a $60 million expansion in Morgan County. Jobs and Skills: Alabama recorded 130,504 online job ads in September, up 34.8% from a year earlier, with health care, retail, hospitality and management among the leading fields. Auburn University’s new $224 million STEM-and-agriculture complex adds capacity for research and workforce training.
