Coalfield Development&rsquo;s 4th Annual Ground Up Gathering is a celebration of the people building a stronger Appalachia from the ground up. Come share a meal, hear stories, connect with the people behind Coalfield&rsquo;s work, and celebrate what&rsquo;s possible when we invest in people and places. Enjoy a catered meal from The Wild Ramp, live music from The Martens, and a performance by community marching band Hoot &amp; Holler. Your registration supports training, jobs, and community-led projects that open doors for people facing barriers to work. Together, we&rsquo;re turning overlooked talent and neglected properties into steady paychecks, small businesses, and thriving main streets.&nbsp;
