CNX Resources is expanding its regional headquarters in the Southwest region of the state. The move from Claypool Hill in Tazewell County a few miles north to the town of Richlands was made possible with a $900,000 loan from the Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority to support economic growth and energy needs in the area. The Virginia Mercury reports the expansion will house 75 employees and bring on eight new ones, with a focus on producing natural gas from coal bed methane to reduce emissions. Despite concerns about methane emissions, initiatives to capture and utilize coal mine methane are moving forward to address climate change impacts.
