AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Energy & Industry: Entergy Arkansas broke ground on the 446-megawatt Ironwood Power Station at Lake Catherine in Jones Mill, a project meant to replace Lake Catherine Unit 4 when it retires at the end of 2027, with construction expected to peak at about 260 jobs. Philanthropy & Health Care: UAMS received a $1 million gift from Brenda and Dr. Robert Gullett Jr. for its new Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Hospital in Springdale, with the sports medicine clinic to be named the Dr. Bob Gullett Clinic. Local Infrastructure: ARDOT will hold a Sept. 4 ribbon cutting for Phase Two of the Springdale Bypass and the XNA Connector Road, part of a larger effort to improve mobility and freight access in Northwest Arkansas. Public Safety & Privacy: Arkansas lawmakers reviewed proposed rules for Arkansas Highway Police license plate readers and Flock cameras, including how long data is retained and concerns about outside vendors. Business & Consumer Risk: A Jonesboro Burger King case highlights card-skimming fraud risk after a suspect allegedly recorded customers’ debit and credit cards with a cellphone. Weather Disruption: Storms across southern Arkansas damaged buildings in Monticello, knocked out power for thousands, and triggered school closures.
