AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoDisaster Recovery Push: The SBA is opening a Saipan Business Recovery Center starting Tuesday, May 26 (Marianas Business Plaza, Suite 201-A) to help Super Typhoon Sinlaku survivors and small businesses with disaster loan questions and walk-in support, with up to $2 million available for physical repairs and replacements. Storm Cost Accounting: Guam’s power utility says Sinlaku hit it with about $10M in damage and expenses, while CNMI aid is around $4.2M and rising. Federal Aid Flow: FEMA approved more than $1.3M in post-disaster funding for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation projects across American Samoa, the Havasupai Tribe, CNMI, and Hawaiʻi, and its processing center is back online. Utilities Under Strain: CNMI’s utility leadership warns borrowing may be needed as cash and fuel reserves thin, while Guam’s fuel-cost pressure is driving a $70M credit line to avoid bigger rate hikes. Relief on the Ground: Red Cross service delivery sites are taking applications this week, including help for residents missing address documents.
