AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Housing Fallout: Louisiana homeowners are still fighting builders as “your home is sinking” claims spread—one Louisiana family says poor ventilation and a badly placed HVAC system led to mold and health problems, fueling litigation. Local Development: Shreveport’s long-stalled Petroleum Tower is one step closer to life again, with state bond commission preliminary approval for up to $25M to convert the historic tower into apartments. Construction & Safety: A Baton Rouge architectural firm faces a proposed class action over an alleged data breach tied to a ransomware attack. Ports & Freight: The Jefferson County Port Authority is moving to reapply for a $25M federal grant as it tries to keep infrastructure plans on track. Community Spaces: In Lafayette, teens say “third spaces” are disappearing, pushing them toward malls and parking lots instead of safer hangouts. Energy Milestone: Shell’s Mars platform hit a lifetime production milestone of 1 billion barrels, underscoring Gulf deep-water output’s ongoing role in Louisiana’s economy.
