AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Hurricane Isaias: The storm strengthened to Category 3 as it headed for the Alabama-Florida coast, with dangerous surge, flooding and hurricane-force winds possible in southern Mississippi. Mississippi Power mobilized more than 1,000 workers, while South Mississippi shelters opened and officials urged residents to prepare for outages and medical needs. State Fair: Jackson’s 167th Mississippi State Fair opened Thursday, though Isaias threatens to disrupt weekend events. Industry: A planned $502 million nickel refinery in Natchez and a new business park backed by a grant for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians signal fresh investment. Agriculture: Mississippi rice yields were generally positive, but growers planted 48,000 acres—down about 70% from last year.
