Life Sciences: Italian diagnostic-imaging company Bracco plans a $230 million Sanford plant, its first in the U.S., creating 200 jobs and bringing contrast-media production closer to hospitals. Energy & Data Centers: Gov. Josh Stein warned that data-center demand could add $50 billion in power costs through 2050; Charlotte extended its data-center moratorium until 2027. Research & Health: UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke are partnering to bring AI tools to rural health clinics, while a Cape Fear Valley researcher found most eligible adults don’t know lung cancer screening is available. Advanced Technology: NC State researchers’ 3D-printed tungsten could help address a major nuclear-fusion challenge. Infrastructure & Resilience: Eastern North Carolina counties received 911 upgrade grants, and Hendersonville is completing a 27-acre floodplain restoration designed to store floodwater and improve habitat.
