Bank of Richmond Reports West Virginia Coal Prosperity
The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond in its Fifth District review notes strong coal mine activity aiding the region’s economy between mid July and mid August. It cites high bank deposits, crop prospects, tobacco, textiles, and ample credit, offset by slower construction, more July business failures, and a drop in reserve credit use. Mining employment rises amid a coal stock surge and limited public impact from strikes. Building permits vary, with Charleston and Huntington up, Parkersburg down.
