AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Data center backlash in Virginia and beyond: Two former Virginia governors, Doug Wilder and Jim Gilmore, criticized Gov. Abigail Spanberger over data centers, pointing to electricity costs, water concerns, and public opposition. Local governance: A Richmond man near Chippenham Hospital is demanding answers from Dominion Energy after 24 outages and flickers since February 2025, pushing the issue to the State Corporation Commission. Heat and infrastructure: Chesapeake is tightening protocols for moveable bridges after extreme heat kept the Great Bridge span from opening/closing, a reminder that warming summers are stressing Hampton Roads systems. Water safety: Smith Mountain Lake is warning boaters over low water levels and shallow, hard-to-see shoals during Labor Day weekend. Climate disaster risk: China’s climate officials warned that glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau are becoming less stable, raising the odds of more cascading disasters after the Nepal-Tibet flash flood. Workforce and learning: Halifax County leaders discussed career-based learning options after a film screening, highlighting pathways beyond a traditional college track.
