AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Space Coast Manufacturing Boost: Gov. Ron DeSantis announced a $600M Blue Origin expansion at Cape Canaveral, adding an 830,000-square-foot upper-stage facility and 500 aerospace jobs, as Florida doubles down on rocket production. Workplace Safety Watch: A new map of 2024 data flags big gaps in worker risk, with Wyoming’s fatality rate far above the safest states—spotlighting how danger clusters in resource-heavy industries. Public Health & Compliance: Three deaths and 18 first responders sickened after apparent fentanyl exposure in rural New Mexico underline how quickly contamination incidents can escalate. Food Supply Alert: Whole Foods Market Kitchen Minestrone Soup is recalled in 17 states (including Florida) over possible undeclared shrimp, a reminder that allergen controls can’t slip. Florida Labor Signal: Florida’s jobless rate rose for an eighth straight month to 4.8%, with declines reported in finance, manufacturing, and construction. Energy Costs Prep: With summer near, guidance points to setting thermostats around 78°F and using smarter cooling habits to cut bills.
