We believe rural and Appalachian Ohio communities are strongest when they work together and speak with one voice.
What started as a commitment to that belief has grown into something larger. We are proud to be a firm that unites educators, healthcare systems, local governments, and businesses across eastern and southern Ohio around a shared goal. We work towards breaking down silos, building coalitions, and elevating our region's voices in Columbus and Washington. We have helped our clients secure hundreds of millions of dollars in state, federal, and private investment not just because it's our job, but because this is our home and we believe in what this region can become.

We believe that our region’s challenges, limited resources, fragmented advocacy, and historic under-representation can be overcome through collaboration, connection, and a shared vision for the future.
Our firm’s name is both a testament to Appalachia’s storied past and a reminder of the relentless need for responsible development and socioeconomic justice in our region.
In 1930, the Sunday Creek tributary of the Ohio River was once lined with a cluster of coal mines. One such mine became the site of Ohio’s worst ever mine disaster, when an explosion killed 82 men. The disaster prompted outrage and bolstered improvement of Ohio’s mine safety laws.
It is with this image in mind that we pioneer our new approach to community and economic development efforts in Appalachia. Through region-based, cohesive advocacy, we see an opportunity for a bold new way of life emerging in these hills.
