Free Press Pick: Cheshire, Ohio: An American Coal Story in 3 Acts
Friday, April 21, 7pm
Canzani Center, Columbus College of Art and Design
A gun toting 83-year-old woman refuses to sell her house to the power plant next door. But despite her refusal, the plant has moved ahead with their $20 million deal to buy out most of Cheshire and bulldoze all the homes. What happened in this Ohio River town overrun by one of the largest coal-fired power plants in the world? A story of money, power and the increasingly difficult choices we face surrounding coal and the environment, Cheshire, Ohio makes us think twice about home.
