AGP Executive Report

Last update: 39 minutes ago

Construction Workforce: Nearly 1,500 Wichita-area students tried skilled trades at the Build My Future event. Builders say labor shortages constrain homebuilding and push up costs. Farm Relief: The USDA’s $8 billion fuel-relief program offers help as Kansas farmers face high diesel costs, but farm groups say lasting support for the farm economy is still needed. Infrastructure: Kansas communities will receive more than $4.5 million for airport upgrades, including Rooks County, supporting business access, agriculture and emergency services. Manufacturing: GM approved $20 billion in stock buybacks as layoffs hit its Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas City, keeping pressure on the region’s auto workforce in focus.
