AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Banking: Minneapolis-based Sezzle has applied for a national bank charter, a move that could broaden the buy-now, pay-later company’s reach under federal oversight. Commercial Property: Minneapolis Hotel Ventures and Lion Hotel Group have bought a downtown Minneapolis hotel, signaling continued investor interest in the city’s lodging market. Infrastructure & Energy: Silver Bay secured $19.1 million for drinking-water upgrades, while Northern Lines Railway won federal funding for track rehabilitation near St. Cloud; Minneapolis also launched a 704-kilowatt community solar garden for low-income subscribers. Agriculture & Industry: Agritourism is expanding around Minnesota, and a startup is using research to accelerate crop development. Meanwhile, harvest pressure is weighing on grain markets, and manufacturers report challenges despite continued investment.
