AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Rural Health: Virginia leaders want 13 more localities counted as rural, potentially opening access to more than $180 million in federal health funding. Higher Education: Virginia Tech named Kansas State President Richard Linton as its next leader, succeeding Tim Sands. Election Watch: A new poll gives Democrat Elaine Luria a three-point lead over Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans in Virginia’s 2nd District; Attorney General Jay Jones has also launched a voter protection section ahead of the midterms. Data Centers: Community opposition is growing over projects’ energy and water demands, noise and fast-tracked approvals. Norfolk Port: Dutra won a contract to dredge about 1.5 million cubic yards at Norfolk International Terminals, deepening berths and channels to 55 feet for larger ships.
