AGP Picks

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Data Center Rules Land: Gov. DeSantis signed SB 484, tightening how large data centers are permitted, powered, and financed in Florida—especially by blocking utilities from passing data-center costs to residential and small-business ratepayers, preserving local zoning control, and adding water-use guardrails. Housing Pressure: Miami is now the least affordable U.S. city for renters, with rising costs pushing some residents to consider leaving the state. Local Business Growth: Honey Baked Ham opened a new Venice location, owned by local entrepreneur Craig Marcum. Workforce & Opportunity: WalletHub ranks Orlando (No. 2), Tampa (No. 4), and Miami (No. 5) among the best places to start a career in 2026. Veteran Entrepreneurship: Florida Angels is backing the May 14 Veterans Entrepreneurship Initiative Business Summit in Lake Nona. Politics & Redistricting: South Florida Democrats are pushing back on newly approved congressional maps, arguing they disadvantage their party.
