AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Auto & Jobs: Mercedes-Benz is giving its Alabama-built GLE and GLS another major refresh for the 2027 model year—an “evolve without starting over” move as EV costs and transitions stay uneven. Fitness Expansion: Crunch Fitness is coming to Montgomery’s EastChase, taking over the former Renfroe’s Market space (opening date not yet set). Local Business: Woody’s on Weiss held a grand opening and ribbon cutting at Little River Marina in Cedar Bluff, pitching waterfront dining as a new tourism draw. Energy Costs: Alabama Power is urging customers to prep for summer bills with thermostat tweaks, HVAC maintenance, and smart thermostat options. Politics & Voting Rights: A U.S. Supreme Court redistricting decision is renewing worries about Black voter influence in the South, while Alabama groups plan rallies in Selma and Montgomery. GOP Governor Race: Three candidates—Tommy Tuberville, Ken McFeeters, and Will Santivasci—are set for Tuesday’s GOP governor primary, with a residency lawsuit still in play. Health & Safety: An FDA inspection in a Shelby County city found one company (Ganus Brothers) in “no action indicated” status. Sports & Culture: Aaron Rodgers is reportedly returning to the Steelers on a one-year deal, and Ella Langley won ACM Artist-Songwriter of the Year.
