AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Banking Deal: Hancock Whitney (Gulfport) signed a definitive agreement to buy Orlando community bank OFB Bancshares, a move that boosts its Florida loans and deposits by more than 30% each and is expected to close in Q3. Opioid Fallout: Mississippi will receive $27M from the opioid settlement, part of a broader multi-state effort that has been winding through courts for years. Energy & Costs: Gas prices are still elevated nationally, with AAA saying the Memorial Day stretch could bring the highest prices in four years even as the weekly average ticks up and down. Data Centers vs. Communities: A new push to speed up air-permitting for major projects is raising fresh concerns about how fast data-center buildouts can move—and who pays the price. Mississippi Lottery: Mississippi Match 5 jackpot climbed to an estimated $500K after Thursday’s drawing had no winners. Local Business Spotlight: Bop’s Frozen Custard is targeting an early 2027 return to Hattiesburg after a long gap, with a new Hardy Street-area location.
