AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Data Centers, Florida Style: Gov. DeSantis signed SB 484, tightening rules on electricity and water use and pushing cost/risk protections so large data centers can’t pass expenses to other customers—an effort aimed at the backlash Florida communities have seen as projects multiply. Tariffs Still Hit Business Budgets: Even after a trade court said Trump’s global 10% duties were unlawful, an appeals court temporarily blocked refunds, meaning some companies keep paying while the fight drags on. Cyber Compliance for Defense Contractors: Tampa-based Northern Technologies Group earned Cyber AB Registered Provider Organization status, positioning it to help firms prep for CMMC requirements. Local Growth Signals: Kinetic expanded fiber to 5,900 Florida homes in Q1, and SW Florida luxury home sales are turning heads again, including a $55M Naples waterfront deal. Workforce & Community: Miami ranked among the nation’s best cities to start a career, while Tallahassee honored top seniors with scholarships.
