Development Benefits Everyone

By Greg Russell

The Toledo Blade has an interesting article on how development of the Marcellus and Utica shales might help maintain - and impact - Amish traditions:  "The Masts and many of their neighbors are Amish, part of a community that’s lived in white homes along New Wilmington’s back roads for decades. They shun technology and embrace a family-based, agrarian lifestyle, even though many can’t afford to farm anymore and instead support their families with construction businesses and shops run out of their homes. *** A new source of money, however, has come to the Amish of western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. *** They own some of the most coveted land in the nation, and rapid-fire leasing by gas companies is creating millionaires — and disturbing communities worried about greed and envy."
