AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoExtreme Heat & Storms: A weeklong heat wave has killed at least 25 people, with about 40 million people under heat alerts across the East Coast, including Charleston, as heat indexes push near 100–105 and storms bring wind and flood risks. Local Fire Response: Horry County Fire Rescue contained three separate fires totaling about 13 acres during the Fourth of July night, with smoke and possible flare-ups expected after drought-and-firework conditions kept crews busy. State Policy (Infrastructure): South Carolina signed a new law requiring U.S.-made steel and iron for most taxpayer-funded road, bridge, and public projects, aimed at keeping the state’s steel industry strong. Food Waste & Labels: California’s “sell by” label ban is taking effect, replacing it with clearer “Best if Used By” and “Use By” labels—an effort to cut confusion and reduce food waste. Native Plants: A South Carolina gardening guide highlights why native plants support local soils, insects, birds, and biodiversity, and how invasive species can crowd out habitat. Tourism Shift: Small businesses in tourist areas report more Americans staying closer to home for road trips and day visits, driven by higher travel costs.
