AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Convenience Retail: Buc-ee’s and Wawa are ramping up competition across the region, with Wawa set to open in September and Buc-ee’s following in November—another sign of how travel-center growth is reshaping convenience retail. Economic Development & Taxes: A major Arkansas Issue 3 vote could unlock more than $1 billion in development projects, with supporters saying cities and counties would gain new tools to fund economic development districts. Energy & Accountability: Jefferson County is facing scrutiny after auditors flagged a $305,000 solar payment for panels that weren’t installed for years, alongside nearly $900,000 in misclassified spending. Workforce & Education: Arkansas’ Academies of Central Arkansas is partnering with the Arkansas National Guard to expand student career exposure, including internships and tours. Food & Agriculture: Pantera Minerals has started maiden drilling at its Gillham antimony/silver project in Sevier County, moving from surface work to subsurface testing. Public Safety: ARDOT expanded its Street Smart road-safety curriculum to high school grades for the 2026-27 school year. Elections: Arkansas voters are looking ahead to the Nov. 3 general election and multiple statewide ballot issues, including Issue 3 on economic development.
