“Coal and coal-fired electric power always has been a major driver behind West Virginia’s economy, and this study proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that not only is coal the bedrock of our economy, it’s a key component of our future,” said Coal Forum Co-chairman Chris Hamilton in the release. “The 2017 figures show that our industry is rebounding from the years of oppression during the previous administration.”
Bluefield's population peaked at 21,506 in 1950. Its 2016 estimated population is 10,191 -- a drop of 11,315 (53%).
