AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Product Safety: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall of 6.3 million bottles of Clorox cleaners sold in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands after reports of bacterial contamination, including specific Mistolin Dilutable and Lestoil Heavy Duty products with date codes starting “PR01.” Water & Resilience: Puerto Rico’s drought response is expanding, with the government seeking emergency funds to evaluate and rehabilitate five inactive public wells that could add up to 5 million gallons per day if cleared, while USDA expanded the federal drought disaster designation to 38 municipalities. Local Business Support: Puerto Rico’s Economic Development and Commerce Department launched “Economic Development on the Road” to bring permits, incentives, business development, workforce and export support directly to all 78 municipalities. Infrastructure Contract: Ferrovial Construcción PR LLC won a $1.1B U.S. Army Corps contract to widen and enhance the Río Piedras channel in San Juan, aimed at reducing annual flood damage. Financing for Entrepreneurs: The Economic Development Bank reported higher FY2026 lending to entrepreneurs, including growth in funding for women-led businesses. Corporate/Markets: ENR’s Top 400 review highlights how the data center boom is raising construction demand—and workforce and execution pressures.
