<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">This just appeared in my inbox.. Know some of you will want to try to attend this. I won't be able to as I'm scheduled for my breast cancer surgery (mastectomy) on the 29th in Morgantown and will be in recovery mode. Just not able to be as involved in GS as I'd like, but know you all understand and appreciate keeping informed. Thanks Rebecca for covering my Muskingum Park sweeping duties. What great things you're doing and how important! Please do NOT try to reply to me or reply to GS as a whole regarding my health. Shari Ballantyne is handling coordinating help if you want to volunteer. I won't be able to drive and My loved one ( who has mobility issues) is also dealing with recent hospitalization and issues.. trying to get a plan in order.. but challenging. We live on Cypress St , off 23rd street, near City Park in Parkersburg. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Cindy Taylor </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Ohio River Valley Institute</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:info@ohiorivervalleyinstitute.org">info@ohiorivervalleyinstitute.org</a>></span><br>Date: Thu, Jan 21, 2021 at 9:29 AM<br>Subject: Critical Condition: Expert Forum on Petrochemical Development<br>To: <<a href="mailto:cwtaylor50@gmail.com">cwtaylor50@gmail.com</a>><br></div><br><br><u></u>

<br>
For more than a decade, policymakers in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia have built their economic development strategies around the expectation that the region’s abundant supplies of natural gas would trigger a vast expansion of energy and manufacturing, bringing with it jobs and prosperity. But development of major projects in the region stalled, and well before the onset of the coronavirus crisis. In the virus’ aftermath, both global markets and policy responses to climate change have <strong><span style="color:#b22222">thrown into doubt the viability of the Appalachian petrochemical dream</span></strong>. <br>
<br>
<em>What's the likelihood of an Appalachian petrochemical buildout? How would our region change if one takes place? What will happen if it doesn't?</em></p>
