David Knudsen, a Sullivan County realtor and blogger, addresses the issue of how to talk about real estate in a county that might soon become the home of multiple gas wells:

If gas drilling comes to Sullivan County — and that's still an open question — drilling will likely have a much greater impact on some areas of the county than others. There are some areas that will likely experience very little impact.
