Vision
It is the vision of this Coalition that its efforts produce a
Gas Lease for its members which protects and acknowledges the interests of the
landowner, agri-businesses, and all New Yorkers with the least amount of
negative impacts. We seek continued environmental and wildlife habit
preservation and protection as the Marcellus Shale Play becomes a world player
in the production of a greener fuel.
Mission Statement
The mission of the County Line Coalition is to unify
Northern Broome County and Southern Cortland County landowners, to protect each
member's mineral rights interests, to preserve our environment and
neighborhoods, to collect, share and guide landowners through the maze of
information and to be a strong group of knowledgeable landowners who develop and
secure a beneficial mineral rights lease for all concerned.
