AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Energy & Infrastructure: Nebraska Public Power District broke ground on the Princeton Road Station in southern Lancaster County, a 694-megawatt natural gas plant expected to start operating in 2029 and power about 318,000 homes. Higher Ed & State Budget: UNMC opened a new residence hall even as the University of Nebraska System faces a $36 million state budget cut, with leaders warning of tighter hiring and travel. Workforce Policy: A new Nebraska law expands NEST 529 so families can use accounts for more career and credential training—covering trades like welding, HVAC, automotive repair, CDL, IT, and health care. Water & Power Risk: A federal analysis warns Lake Powell’s water levels could fall to the minimum power pool level by March 2027, threatening hydropower for roughly six million customers across the West, including Nebraska. Food Safety & Supply Chains: Taylor Farms, a Taco Bell lettuce supplier, is linked to a cyclosporiasis outbreak; the company says it’s removing affected iceberg lettuce from the U.S. market while Taco Bell pulls potentially impacted product in select states. Local Business Ownership: Decker’s Market in Newcastle completed an ESOP deal that makes employees shareholders while the Decker family keeps majority control. Nebraska Courts & Wages: A judge halted Lincoln’s minimum wage ordinance while a lawsuit proceeds, keeping the legal fight over local wage authority in play. Markets: Wall Street slid again as AI-linked chip stocks dragged indexes lower, extending a weekly decline.
