Tomorrow we're hosting another Coffee Break conversation – this time with Joanne Kilgour Esq., the executive director of the Ohio River Valley Institute.
Meet Joanne, and learn more about an economic study they've released that shows almost no job growth in fracking counties, despite gas production boom.
JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania, – A new Ohio River Valley Institute report titled, “Appalachia’s Natural Gas Counties: Contributing more to the U.S. economy and getting less in return” quantifies the decade-long failure of the natural gas boom in the Marcellus and Utica fields to deliver growth in jobs, income, and population to the 22 Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia counties that produce more than 90% of the region’s natural gas.
If you'd like to meet Joanne Kilgour Esq. to discuss the study and get questions answered, please join us for tomorrow's coffee break on Halt the Harm Network!
🎉 This live stream is part of a weekly series for us to connect and discuss the latest news about fracking.
