I missed this one last week but it seems a new underground coal mine could open in Garrett County as early as next summer ..

WJZ News reports.

This story actually preceded the one I linked to earlier in the day. I guess all the local media outlets missed this one too, but maybe we'll get some comments from the meeting and an ongoing update as to the status of the project as it moves forward. It does seem somewhat odd though that WJZ out of Baltimore is announcing this meeting and reporting on this story while the Times-News and the Republican apparently chose not to cover it.

Don't forget to check back to Dan's Deep Creek Blog for future updates.
