Coal-dependent counties facing ‘fiscal tsunami,’ report finds.  (Virginia Mercury, 7/22/2019)

Over the same period, Virginia Department of Minerals, Mines and Energy data show that the state’s coal production fell by 50 percent, from 24.9 million short tons to 12.8 million short tons, while employment declined 30 percent. 

Seven Virginia counties — Buchanan, Dickenson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Tazewell and Wise — and the city of Norton continue to be heavily engaged in coal mining. Dickenson and Buchanan in particular are identified in the Columbia/Brookings report as the fifth and sixth most mining-dependent localities in the nation, with about 17 percent and 16 percent of their labor force engaged in the industry in 2015.
