Some of Our Favorite Stories of 2017: Compassion in the Workplace and Geothermal Energy

One of our favorite stories from 2017 comes from Glynis Board who investigated how communities across the region and the country are investing in compassion to improve economy.

As Liz McCormick reported last year, some counties in West Virginia have been pushing the envelope for a future in geothermal energy use, like in a handful of public schools.
