Eleven million dollars in Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) funding is now available to support economic development initiatives in Southwest Virginia. The allocation aims to repurpose land previously used for coal mining into sites for new businesses, infrastructure, and community projects. This investment is part of broader efforts to stimulate job creation and long-term economic growth in regions historically dependent on the coal industry. Eligible projects may include industrial park development, transportation improvements, and environmental remediation. Local governments and nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply for grants to advance sustainable redevelopment in the area.
