The Experience of Low-Income Pennsylvania Residents in Marcellus Shale Gas Communities of Bradford, Lycoming, Washington and Greene Counties (2017)
March 17, 2017 | Environment and Natural Resources
This research describes the perspectives of low-income adults in Pennsylvania communities that have experienced active Marcellus Shale development. This study focused on the same four counties examined in Wave 1 of the Marcellus Shale Impacts Study: Bradford, Lycoming, Greene, and Washington. These counties experienced the highest level of Marcellus Shale development in Pennsylvania over the past 8 years, and they have diverse populations, histories, economic bases, and geographic regions. The interview protocol for low-income adults used in this study is a semi-structured interview protocol incorporating a retrospective narrative to gather information about the housing history of interviewed participants, as well as participant perspectives on community change.
