Mallach, A

The study attempted to answer a single question: if coal mining activity were to increase significantly during the 1980's, what economic and fiscal effects can be anticipated in Garrett and Allegany Counties. The effects that are the subject of the study are numerous: sections are devoted to economic (income, employment, and economic growth), population (immigration, population increase, and school enrollment increase), housing and fiscal effects (county and municipal revenues and expenditures). In addition, special analyses are presented dealing with the problems of coal haul road maintenance, school facilities, and sewerage treatment capacities.
