The group behind the land purchases, identified as 'Appalachian Pioneers,' has stated goals beyond real estate acquisition. Their aim is to create cities that embody a 'healthy, natural human way of life, the Christian way of life.'
“The first thing you see when it pops up is pioneers.”
“In Appalachian, Pioneers in Appalachia. But the goal wasn't just to buy real estate.”
“We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the healthy, natural human way of life, the Christian way of life.”
