In this eye-opening episode of The GreeneScene Podcast, hosts Shelly Brown and Dolly Throckmorton sit down with Mike Belding (former Greene County Commissioner and GreeneScene author) and Brian Sokol (Cumberland Township Manager) to confront a growing concern: Greene County’s predicted, yet preventable economic crisis.
With coal industry revenue down 20%, fewer homebuilders, stagnant development, and a dwindling population, the group unpacks how we got here and what needs to change. They discuss the rise and fall of the coal and gas booms, the critical role of Act 13 funds, and how relying too heavily on extractive industries has left the county vulnerable. From county reassessment and tax reform to the need for private sector investment and citizen involvement in local government, this episode is a call to action for anyone who cares about the future of Greene County.

In this episode of The GreeneScene Podcast, hosts Shelly Brown and Dolly Throckmorton dive into one of the most pressing topics facing Greene County—school district consolidation. Joined by guests Bret Moore (Lead Editor at GreeneScene), Mike Belding (former Greene County Commissioner & GreeneScene author), and Brian Sokol (Carmichaels School Board Member), the group explores the complex web of population decline, funding challenges, and the emotional and economic implications of merging districts.
From nostalgic school pride and mascots to transportation logistics, administrative costs, and the potential for stronger academic and athletic competition, this episode breaks down both the practical realities and community concerns around consolidation.
