County OKs $10,000 coal-severance contribution for western-gas feasibility study

Tazewell County Board of Supervisors · August 4, 2026

Summary

Supervisors approved a $10,000 contribution from coal severance tax road funds to continue a feasibility study for a proposed gas-line implementation phase in the county's western sector, supplementing a $21,000 contract previously approved by the board.

County staff told supervisors the board previously approved a $21,000 contract in June to study the feasibility of a gas distribution project in the western portion of the county. On Aug. 4 staff requested— and the board approved—$10,000 from coal severance tax road funds to support continued feasibility work and to free up roughly $10,000 in the capital budget.

The motion was moved and seconded and passed on the record. Staff cautioned that obtaining grant funding for actual construction remains uncertain and that the current action supports incremental, phased study and planning only.
