AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Jobs and Manufacturing: Illinois’ unemployment rate fell to 4.6% in September, while Viakable plans a $55 million electrical-cable manufacturing expansion in the state. Energy and Utilities: The grid faces growing pressure from data centers, even as Ameren brings a solar facility online in Peoria; a new study also says protections for displaced energy workers fall short. Agriculture: Fertilizer costs are climbing ahead of the 2027 growing season, with researchers warning supply disruptions could keep prices elevated into spring. Transportation: The I-490 project near O’Hare is now projected to cost $4.3 billion, up from $3.4 billion, and finish in 2029—two years later than planned.
