Fracking meeting set for Thursday

Youngstown

Frackfree Mahoning Valley and the Frackfree American National Coalition will have a public meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Youngstown’s Channing Hall, 1105 Elm St.

This is the first in a series of town-hall-style meetings the groups are having to provide information and answer questions about fracking, which they oppose.

Thursday’s meeting will include a presentation about earthquakes and drilling-related topics by Ray Beiersdorfer, a professor of geology at Youngstown State University.
