CNX has a longstanding and special relationship with the communities and people in our region. We have called Appalachia home for 160 years and know that the people and families within our walls, and living in our operational footprint, are one and the same. Over the years, we have become increasingly concerned that many of our friends and neighbors are denied access to economic opportunities in energy and manufacturing that represent a realistic path to the middle class.
