“The mine is the largest employer in Wyoming County after the school system,” the Associated Press reports. “Workers were moving equipment out of the mine this week, a sure sign of its imminent closure.”
Governor Jim Justice said he hoped the mine “has not seen its last days,” adding that “it’s not a good day.”
