AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Storm Threats: The remnants of Hurricane Isaias could bring flash flooding to eastern Kentucky’s mountains, with 1–3 inches of rain forecast and locally higher totals. Urban Trees: Lexington kicked off Tree Week with a yellowwood planting at Davis Park; organizers are working toward 30% tree canopy coverage. Mine Safety: As black lung rates surge across Appalachia, the Trump administration has halted enforcement of new coal-mine dust rules designed to reduce miners’ exposure. Eastern Kentucky Recovery: A record $78.8 million in Appalachian Regional Commission grants will support 67 projects, including water and wastewater upgrades and moving flood survivors out of floodplains. Data Center Debate: Lexington extended its data-center development moratorium through October 2027 amid public opposition.
