For The Sunday Shale Show this week, Energy In Depth sat down with Mr. Leonard Stevens, President of the Minority Business Association. Located in Stark County, the MBA provides workshops, membership directory and a revolving loan fund to help start-up businesses.

“You have to think outside of the box” – Leonard Stevens, President, Minority Business Association (4:05)

As Mr. Stevens acknowledged, there is great potential in the future development of our state’s shale deposits, and its potential is recognized worldwide, with more and more interest and investment coming in to the Buckeye State.

For this reason, the Minority Business Association and other organizations (like Energy In Depth) have placed a priority on educating the public about the industry, its practices, and the incredible benefits this continued development will bring for Ohio’s workforce and its communities.

Energy In Depth thanks Mr. Stevens for his efforts, and for joining us on The Sunday Shale Show. We look forward to continuing to work with those working directly or indirectly with the oil and gas industry to provide in-depth analysis of what’s taking place in Ohio (and beyond), and what it means for our communities and our state.

Stay tuned for The Sunday Shale Show next week!
