AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

AI Data Centers & Jobs: Gov. Patrick Morrisey is touting a reported $45 billion, six-year Anthropic deal for computing capacity at Nscale’s West Virginia data center campus in Mason County—about 460 megawatts—framing it as a major win for the state’s AI strategy and power-and-siting approach. Workforce & Manufacturing: BridgeValley Community and Technical College and WVU Parkersburg are set to receive nearly $2 million from the Appalachian Regional Commission to expand advanced manufacturing training across 11 West Virginia counties. Public Safety & Infrastructure: West Virginia agencies announced Turkey Run Lake in Jackson County will be drained and restored to a free-flowing stream and wetlands by end of 2027, replacing an aging dam. Local Impacts: A Marion County family in White Hall says a decades-old mine fire has destabilized their hillside, triggering a fast-moving landslide that’s left them unable to access their home. Sports Medicine: South Charleston High is getting new Riddell Axiom helmets through a partnership involving WVU Medicine’s Thomas Foundation and the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute to improve head-impact protection for players. Policy & Consumer Protection: West Virginia is mentioned in a broader federal fight over SNAP “healthy food” restrictions after court orders—South Carolina delayed its candy and sugary drink limits until Nov. 1.
