AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Media M&A: HD Media, a Charleston-based company that already owns 10 West Virginia and Ohio papers, agreed to buy AIM Media’s 25 Indiana and Ohio newspapers (including The Republic in Columbus and The Daily Reporter in Greenfield), with the deal set to close Sept. 1. Healthcare Tech Deal: Pro Medicus’ Visage Imaging signed a seven-year, $25 million contract with Valley Health (six hospitals across Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia) to deploy its cloud imaging platform and migrate Valley’s PACS archive. Local Public Safety Fees: Randolph County commissioners are weighing whether to reimpose a suspended special ambulance service fee after state tax objections and an Attorney General review. Infrastructure Funding: Rainelle will receive $1.7 million from USDA Rural Development to rehabilitate sidewalks and improve pedestrian safety and stormwater drainage. Energy & Costs: GasBuddy reported the lowest diesel price in Wood County at $4.14 for the week ending Aug. 15, while statewide diesel averaged $5.08. Data Center Politics: A Mason County letter to lawmakers on House Bill 2014 pushes for stronger host-county input on siting scores as residents question high-impact data center approvals. Public Health: A jalapeño-linked salmonella outbreak has expanded to 32 states and 431 cases, with West Virginia listed among affected states.
