Development of the Marcellus Shale is sparking conversation and controversy throughout our region. Deciding what to do with this immense natural resource calls us to examine what we want for ourselves, our communities and generations to come.
“Marcellus Shale: What Does it Mean for Us?” will explore the issue from four different perspectives that were gleaned from surveys and conversations with Centre County residents. Although the approaches overlap, they do suggest different priorities and trade-offs to consider.
