- Federal funding coming to Ohio for abandoned mine cleanup, but at reduced rate
Federal grants for abandoned mine land cleanup in Ohio are being reduced due to congressional cuts, with the state set to receive $664 million over 14 years instead of $696 million. The funding, part of a 2021 infrastructure law, aims to address historic coal mining damage, but reductions mean delayed repairs for issues like polluted streams and unstable land.
