AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Energy & Infrastructure: Nebraska Public Power District broke ground on the Princeton Road Station in Lancaster County, a 694-megawatt plant expected to start operating in 2029, aimed at keeping power reliable as new industries move in. Workforce & Education: A new Nebraska law expanded what families can use NEST 529 accounts for, letting savings cover more credential and career training programs like welding, HVAC, IT, CDL, and health care. Agriculture Economy: A new Creighton/region bank survey shows Nebraska-area rural confidence sliding—Nebraska’s Rural Mainstreet Index fell below growth-neutral in July, with weak commodity prices and tighter credit cited as key drags. Business Growth: Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development and Select Greater Omaha launched the AgWorks Corridor to connect 11 counties along I-80 with feedstock, research, and workforce resources to spur ag investment. Food Safety: Federal officials tied a major cyclosporiasis outbreak to shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms to Taco Bell, prompting removals and recalls as cases top 1,600 across five states. Legal/Policy: The U.S. House passed a bill banning foreign contributions to state and local ballot measure campaigns, sending it to the Senate. Local Business: Decker’s Market in Newcastle completed a deal shifting 49% ownership to an employee ESOP, giving workers a stake while the Decker family keeps majority control.
