The Mingo County Redevelopment Authority, in cooperation with TransGas Development Systems, has broken ground on construction of the Mingo County coal-to-liquids production facility called Adams Fork Energy. The project is designed to convert coal into premium gasoline.

The coal-to-liquids facility will produce 18,000 barrels of gasoline per day once operating. The construction phase of the plant will last roughly four years and the completed facility will provide 300 full-time jobs. The plant will also triple the tax base for Mingo County.

"With this plant, we rekindle a rebirth of America's self-confidence and competence. It will produce and displace over 2% of all imported gasoline.
