Many turned out for the third anniversary of the Norfolk Southern Train Derailment in East Palestine, a day that chemicals took ahold of village.
It is now being turned into a time of celebration.
"It's not about looking backward,” said Misti Allison, chair of the Community Advisor Board for the EP Train Derailment Research Program. “It's about protecting the people who live here now, those that were here when the train derailment happened and the generations who will grow up in East Palestine. "
Three years after the incident, millions of dollars are being allocated for research in newly designated rooms. Officials see this as an opportunity to rectify past wrongs.
"They've had concerns like, ‘my child has nose bleeds and is this normal, or is it connected to the derailment or not?’ ” said Erin Haynes, a professor at the University of Kentucky.
The University of Kentucky, University of Pittsburgh, and Yale University have launched the "East Palestine Train Derailment Research Program."
Over the next five years, $10 million of research will be conducted at the Way Station in downtown East Palestine.
It's all to make it more accessible to those affected.
