AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Housing & Cost Pressures: New federal data show public housing households in Missouri counties with widely varying incomes and rent burdens, including Vernon ($15,650 income; $335 rent), Saline ($19,101; $351), Lawrence ($26,084; $441), Ste. Genevieve ($20,759; $383), Cooper ($22,256; $397), and Greene ($14,695; $333). Local Business & Energy: Gas prices stayed volatile but eased in spots: Dallas County’s lowest E15 hit $3.27 (week ending Aug. 8), while diesel lows ranged from Jasper ($4.49) to Cedar ($4.59) and Shannon ($4.79). Consumer Scams: Aurora logged one BBB Scam Tracker report in July (phishing tied to “unfreezing” money), as Missouri’s scam totals remain a concern statewide. Public Safety: Kansas City police are investigating a homicide after a man, 40-year-old Angelo D. Jones, died from gunshot trauma near Main St. Community & Growth: A Trenton-area meeting weighed data-center impacts on utilities, zoning and infrastructure, with officials saying key questions remain unanswered. Workforce & Health: Forbes named Mercy among top employers in Missouri and Arkansas.
