AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Energy & AI Data Centers: Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposal is pitching power-hungry data centers as a growth engine, while Oregon-area leaders keep pushing for big connectivity bets like Cascadia high-speed rail as an economic strategy. Education & Workforce: Salem-Keizer educators won Crystal Apple Awards, and a BGSU roundtable highlighted how AI is reshaping manufacturing jobs—raising the question of how to train students for work that won’t be automated away. Public Safety & Health: Oregon’s overdose deaths dropped for a second straight year, and Keizer Fire District expects higher ambulance revenue after partnering with Salem Fire. Politics & Policy: Oregon’s sanctuary law is back in the spotlight with calls to repeal it, and Planned Parenthood funding remains a flashpoint after Gov. Kotek signed a permanent state backfill plan. Business & Courts: A federal opioid settlement is moving forward, while Oregon contractors are bracing for changes to the DBE program tied to federal rules. Markets & Costs: Gas prices are still elevated heading into Memorial Day, and Oregon’s budget cuts near $100M in a year.
