CONSOL To Idle Knott County Mine

CONSOL Energy says, beginning July 1st., the company will cease operations at its Jones Fork mine near Mousie in Knott County, affecting 153 employees. Since the mine will be idled but not permanently closed, workers won't receive severance packages but will be eligible for unemployment. It was targeted because its location made it costlier to operate.
