be a long, slow lift. The damage from decades of deindustrialization, drug epidemics and despair in the Ohio Valley region and other areas is a serious challenge to overcome but I agree it's encouraging to see new green energy efforts like this new plant associated with Biden's initative.

The tourism and casino venues were maybe among few options sorry to say given the decline and lack of support and resources. But here's hoping for better, healthier days ahead. Thanks for your interest and reply.
