AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Flood Risk: Port St. Lucie is testing water-level sensors as rain threatens flood-prone areas. A local pet groomer says flooding could force cancellations during one of her busiest days. Jobs and Costs: Florida’s unemployment rate fell to 4.4% in September, its fourth monthly decline, but small-business groups warn that labor shortages, rising fuel costs and uncertainty are making employers more cautious. Storm Recovery: Walton County’s new resource center will connect businesses and residents with recovery help, including financial assistance and rebuilding support. Florida has also opened interest-free loans of up to $100,000 for businesses affected by Hurricane Isaias. Student Entrepreneurship: Three West Palm Beach high school seniors built a free AI platform to help students develop business ideas, now used in 20 countries.
