AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Storm Recovery: Isaias’ remnants brought severe flooding, landslides, rescues and road closures to western North Carolina, with rainfall nearing 10 inches in some areas. The National Weather Service confirmed an EF-1 tornado near Kinston, with winds estimated at 90 to 100 mph; more storm-damage surveys are underway. Clean Water: Greensboro approved a $260 million plan to remove PFAS from its drinking water. River Cleanup: Two years after Helene, North Carolina rivers are still littered with debris, and PVC pipes remain a major cleanup challenge. Drinking Water: Wilkesboro’s treatment plant earned state recognition for exceeding drinking-water standards in 2025, its 10th consecutive year receiving the award.
