AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

SBI expansion: North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation leaders broke ground in Raleigh on a new, multi-phase campus—headquarters plus renovations and a logistics building—aimed at consolidating staff and modernizing operations, with construction targeted to finish in late 2027 and move-in in early 2028. Housing push: Gov. Josh Stein signed an executive order directing state agencies to coordinate on housing supply and affordability, appointing a senior housing policy advisor as the state projects a shortage of more than 750,000 homes by 2029. Juvenile justice shift: A new NC report says changes in law have dramatically altered the juvenile detention population, with more youth now routed through adult court—forcing the system to scramble for capacity and services. Health care watch: CMS ratings show mixed nursing-home performance in the Carolinas, including Roxboro Healthcare & Rehab Center dropping to a 2-star overall rating in Q1 2026. Tech & infrastructure: A major utilities merger is back in focus as NextEra and Dominion move toward combining—fueling debate over power, AI data centers, and affordability. Culture & learning: The NC Museum of Natural Sciences will reopen its popular Butterfly Room exhibit for the Memorial Day weekend.
