Blaschak Coal Corporation approved for $1 mln grant to develop reserve of Mammoth coal in Mount Carmel region

Blaschak Coal Corporation recently received approval for a $1 million grant through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) to re-engineer, reopen, and redevelop a large reserve of Mammoth coal in the Mount Carmel region.

The development will employ 25 to 30 United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) miners and will be the largest new mine development project in the region. Once complete, the development will provide anthracite coal for more than 20 years.

As mining progresses, the land will be reclaimed and put toward alternative uses in the community.

“I will continue to partner with industry and our local communities to ensure that the commonwealth reaps the greatest possible benefit from our resources so that our communities, our industries, and our workforce can thrive and Pennsylvania will remain competitive in the manufacturing economy,” Gov. Tom Wolf said.
