Mountain View Mine in West Virginia to Close, Laying Off 200 Workers; Dominion Energy Unaffected
The Mountain View Mine near the Tucker and Grant County line in West Virginia is set to close this Wednesday, leading to the layoff of nearly 200 workers. The mines closure is due to the loss of a major customer and the need for one million tons of coal annually to stay operational. The mine, which opened in 2006, was a significant source of jobs and income for the local community. Meanwhile, Dominion Energy, which runs the nearby Mount Storm Power Station, assures there will be no disruption in electricity supply as they will source coal from other locations.
