Herschel Atkinson told the SE Ohio Regional Council last night that the region can gain more than any other area if its people back industry with energy.

The meeting highlighted plans for highway routes, an expanded SEORC exhibit at the State Fair, and continued efforts to lure industry to eight counties.
