The Department of the Interior on Thursday announced $11 million in federal funding for Alabama through the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization Program — an initiative aimed at turning legacy coal mining sites into engines of economic growth.

The funding will support job creation, infrastructure development and energy opportunities in communities historically tied to America's coal production .

"Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Burgum, these investments are transforming abandoned mine lands into hubs of economic opportunity, job creation and local innovation," said Acting Assistant Secretary of Lands and Mineral Management Adam Suess. "We're proud to support state and tribal partners in putting these lands back to work for the American people."
