It is a great opportunity to get the message out that coal is and will remain the economic bedrock of the state’s economy. This past year’s edition included production, employment, coal severance data, membership profiles, editorial features and other key information.
This year’s publication will be a bit different from those in the past. It will be a 48-page, glossy magazine format similar to our Coal Facts publication.
