The Consortium is one component of a $4 million-dollar project, which is the result of the Congressman's deep concern for mine worker safety and vision for the future. The project is being funded by a $2 million EDA grant, $1 million in state funding and another $1 million in private funds, including $100,000 from Arch Coal and $200,000 from State Electric.
