Redeveloping Abandoned Mines in the US
Mines that have been abandoned pose a long-term threat to public safety, health, and the environment. The AMLER program provides funding for initiatives that use economic and community development to repurpose former coal mining areas. By converting these abandoned or polluted properties into recreation areas, training facilities, agricultural processing facilities, business parks, solar farms, and other uses, the AMLER program provides vital assistance in furthering community rehabilitation.
