Tompkins Landowners Coalition (TLC)
Mission: To be regarded as a leader among landowners, residents, and the greater community in delivering information about the impacts of natural gas development on families.
Vision: We are mindful that the vast majority of landowners in our county own their property because it is their home, although some drive income from it. Discovery of a complex hydrocarbon resource beneath our lands is of global commercial interest. We seek to find the balance between the economic potential of this discovery and our other reasons for being here.
We dedicate ourselves to a sincere educational and investigative effort, believing that anyone-alone attempting to make a decision about whether to lease is seriously disadvantaged. The opportunities which an informed partnering with a responsible, respectful natural gas developer will bring are obvious, A well crafted model lease to be used in defining the rights and obligations of the landowners and such a developer is our goal.
