• One mountain over: Could a ‘halfback wave' solve the Eastern Kentucky depopulation problem? (newsfromthestates.com) — Hindman is highlighted as one of several Eastern Kentucky towns that could attract new residents by leaning into assets like the Appalachian Artisan Center and Hindman Settlement School. The piece explores how a “halfback wave” of people leaving Florida and the Carolinas might be steered toward coalfield communities, if Kentucky invests in housing, infrastructure, and smart regional marketing. It frames this as one possible strategy to counter long-term population loss.
