AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

AI & Robotics Investment: Nscale signed a multi-year $3.5B compute deal with humanoid robotics startup Figure, taking an equity stake and positioning itself as preferred compute provider—while also aligning with a separate major Anthropic compute commitment tied to a West Virginia data center. Rural Health Funding: Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced the first Rural Health Transformation Program grants in Chesapeake—$1.17M each for Spotted Owl Health and Chesapeake Healthcare Center, plus $612K each for CAMC/Vandalia and the Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation. Data Centers vs. Cost of Living: West Virginia is pitching a “Responsible Data Center Development Plan” that would route at least half of data-center revenue to reduce and eventually eliminate the state income tax, as national opposition to data centers grows. Energy & Prices: Diesel hit an all-time high at $5.85 a gallon, with the crunch tied to refinery disruptions and Middle East conflict pressures. Local Business Openings: Dave & Buster’s is set to open Sept. 21 in Westover at the West Ridge Business and Retail Park, its second WV location after Huntington. Community & Workforce: New River CTC says Fall 2026 enrollment is up nearly 11%, including a 26% jump in first-time freshmen and growth in dual enrollment. Scam Watch: BBB Scam Tracker data shows Pratt recorded one scam report in July, tying it for 21st among WV cities.
