What Do You Think About Drilling in Residential Areas? Poll

How would you feel about oil or gas drilling or fracking in your neighborhood?

 

The Plain Dealer reports that oil and gas drilling in nearby Broadview Heights has torn neighborhoods apart. Proponents say the measure helps bring in revenue; opponents point to possible health concerns. Check out the in-depth article for more.

According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Brecksville has some active wells, but nowhere near the amount that Broadview Heights does. There are some gas wells on the city’s Blossom Hill property, including one that was approved last spring.
