Kentucky, USA: A Coal Mining Tax Supporting Economic Diversification in Appalachia
This case study examines Kentucky's coal severance tax, introduced in 1972, and its role in funding economic diversification and basic services in coal-producing counties. While the tax has provided significant resources through funds like the LGEAF and LGEDF, its effectiveness is challenged by a lack of a coordinated long-term strategy and a sharp decline in revenues as coal production and employment plummet.
