AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Charitable Giving Rules: The new 2026 federal charitable contribution framework under the OBBB Act adds a $1,000/$2,000 cash deduction for non-itemizers, introduces a 0.5% AGI floor for itemizers, and keeps a permanent 60% AGI cash limit—changing how Arkansas taxpayers plan donations. Health Care Philanthropy: CHI St. Vincent received a second $5 million gift from Alan and Boots Warrick for the Anthony Center for Advanced Cardiac Care, bringing the Warrick commitment to $10 million ahead of construction in 2027. Manufacturing Jobs: InnovAsian Cuisine broke ground in Jonesboro on a $150 million frozen food facility expected to create about 200 jobs, with production targeted for 2028. Local Public Safety Tech: Centerton City Council voted to remove Flock Safety license plate reader cameras after resident pushback, citing functionality and privacy concerns. City Budget Pressure: Little Rock is bracing for a potential 35% jump in 2027 health insurance costs after a 142% loss ratio on its current plan. Banking Expansion: Citizens Bank plans a new Fayetteville banking center opening in the first quarter of 2027, adding about 16 jobs. Food Safety: Taylor Farms’ jalapeño-related salmonella recall continues to expand, with products sold at major retailers including Trader Joe’s, Walmart and Target.
