The main objective of this project was to provide an analysis of the economic impacts to Allegany and Garrett Counties in Maryland of increasing levels of coal mining. Secondary objectives were to provide a cost/benefit evaluation of the existing Maryland surface mine reclamation program; an evaluation of coal-related enterprise development potentials for Western Maryland, including utilization or conversion industries, educational and training programs, research programs; and an evaluation of the existing tax structure affecting the Western Maryland coal industry. Each of these areas of study in the final report is followed by recommendations directing Western Maryland toward a balanced and rational approach to development of its coal resources.
