AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Advanced Manufacturing: Hickory-based US Conec plans to invest $149.7 million in a new facility, adding 224 jobs to meet demand for optical components used in advanced computing and telecom networks. Rural Connectivity: Columbus County Schools say proposed federal cuts to the E-Rate program could threaten a vital internet lifeline; the district has received about $20 million in support since 1998. Health Research: A Duke Health study found that older women who used vaginal estrogen before hip-fracture surgery were more than twice as likely to develop a postoperative UTI, challenging expectations that the treatment would help prevent infections in this setting. Local Tech: Wilmington software firm nCino is expanding its banking platform with AI-enabled tools for lending and other financial workflows.
