Governors Predict Bright Future For Coal
Virginia Governor Robb and West Virginia Governor Rockefeller foresee a rebound in coal demand by 1984 as construction begins on a 135 million dollar Newport News coal export pier. The project, by Dominion Terminal Associates, includes a 15 million ton capacity terminal and signals a solid industry commitment. Norfolk Southern projects a possible 36 million ton year end load, exceeding the current 34.5 million ton 1970 record, though executives warn 1983 activity may decline.
