In part two of the series tomorrow, Jacobs looks at a New York state law that some say is being used to force property owners to sign on the dotted line. Support for the Innovation Trail comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The Innovation Trail is a collaboration between five upstate public media outlets, reporting about New York's innovation economy. It's partnering with StateImpact Pennsylvania to look at how natural gas drilling is impacting communities.
