AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Data Centers Policy: Gov. Josh Shapiro says his new executive order sets the “strictest guardrails in the nation” for Pennsylvania data centers, adding GRID standards and new consent requirements that critics say could slow projects while supporters call it protection for communities and power costs. Local Government & Courts: Radnor Township is moving to buy a former Wayne-area veterinarian’s office to convert it into a magisterial district court, aiming to bring hearings closer for residents and reduce police travel time. Business Expansion: PMG Pennsylvania (Powder Metal Goldschmidt Group) announced a major customer-driven expansion in Philipsburg, its third since 2003, signaling continued automotive manufacturing growth. Energy & Finance: PPL will pay a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.2850 per share on Oct. 1, 2026. Labor Market Rules: Pennsylvania lawmakers are pushing “ghost jobs” transparency bills to require clearer hiring intentions and faster removal of listings once roles are filled. Community & Housing: Butler County commissioners approved state Housing Finance Agency grants totaling $400,000 for eviction prevention and acquisition/rehab programs. Sports & Tourism: IndyCar’s Freedom 250 takes over Washington, D.C.’s National Mall this weekend, with major corporate sponsors including Boeing, Starlink and Delta.
