Southern Illinois to add 65 mining jobs at Harrisburg project
The proposed expansion at a 350 foot deep surface mine near Harrisburg could add about 65 jobs to a 100-person workforce. Construction may begin in a month as the operation, opened in 1995, supplies coal mostly to power plants. Local officials note the region’s coal industry supports the economy and salience of mining jobs.
