AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Military Contracts: Tutor Perini and Black Construction won a ~$651.8M Naval Base Guam electrical upgrade task order, replacing overhead feeders with underground distribution work. Local Economy & Jobs: Guam added 790 net jobs year-over-year in March 2026, led by private-sector growth while government payrolls dipped; unemployment held at 3.4%. Tourism Marketing: The Guam Visitors Bureau brought 12 local businesses to the Seoul International Travel Fair under a “Wellness Island” theme, earning top marketing honors and strong inquiry volume. Disaster Funding Oversight: Guam’s disaster-response offices face tighter FEMA drawdown rules after federal scrutiny tied to prior indictments, requiring more pre-approval for grant use. Power Costs: A proposed $100/month power credit faces funding questions as ratepayers brace for a potential $58 average bill hike. Education & Governance: The Legislature terminated a nearly $200K AI contract for bill-drafting support, while Sen. Vincent Borja pushed for GDOE oversight answers and possible school-closure visits. Business & Courts: A federal fraud case involving Pandemic Unemployment Assistance seeks a trial delay as discovery grows, and prosecutors pursued a lengthy sentence for a repeat retail thief before victims were heard. Energy Prices: Gas at Mobil Guam fell 15 cents for regular to $5.979, with diesel down 50 cents to $6.849. Public Safety Training: Guam’s Department of Agriculture is hosting its first wildfire training sessions with Hawaii partners amid a dry outlook.
