<span style="font-size:16px;"> <strong>On August 22nd,</strong> the Ohio River Valley Institute (ORVI) published their latest analysis of the ever-looming Appalachian fracking boom, effectively christening 22 counties in OH, WV, and PA who produce over 90% of Appalachian natural gas as “Frackalachia.†ORVI’s analysis is a lengthy testimony calling both citizens and policy-makers to reconsider the footprint of the once-promised economic success of the region’s oil-producing countries. The message is succinct: with shale gas production in Appalachia at or nearly passing its peak, counties are experiencing a net loss of job and income growth as population loss worsens. The promise of the fracking industry’s economic contributions has proven to be exaggerated. Coupled with the associated impacts on environmental and community health, this industry has failed to deliver on the very aspects of prosperity that it claimed to stimulate. OVEA and FreshWater are dedicated to promoting a more sustainable and just economy in the region. </span>

Now that rampant unconventional gas and oil development has diminished the need for these plants, an overwhelming majority of these structures are closed or actively being retired from service. As a result, coal-country communities are in need of a way to redesign these spaces to meet their communities' economical needs, and to alter their appearance from being a constant reminder of a long, complicated history with coal to a symbol of a more sustainable and promising future.</span>

<strong> Re-Imagine Beaver County</strong> was created by citizens of Beaver County, Pennsylvania to envision a more economically viable future for the region based on energy innovation, green chemistry and manufacturing, sustainable agriculture, and riverfront recreation and tourism. Members are passionately working to inspire a shift from the region's dependency on large-scale, fossil-fuel based industries to an increasingly diversified portfolio of sustainable developments. The ideas for sustainable development that citizens offered in visioning sessions could enrich the region's economy by employing regenerative farming practices, promoting entrepreneurial initiatives, and repurposing public spaces, among many others. Re-Imagine Beaver treasures the idea of forming a community of deepened connectivity and increased prosperity that is able to provide for local needs with local means.
</p><p style="margin:0;margin-bottom:18px">
Through the creation of innovative partnerships, Re-imagine Beaver seeks to offer Beaver County residents a balanced combination of economic, environmental and social benefits to achieve a high quality of life and long-term prosperity. We at OVEA and FWAP are inspired by their ideals of community enrichment and strongly emphasize the importance of their work in shifting an economic reliance on fossil-fuel industries to a more sustainable and climate-conscious pathway.
