For his 2018 Eagle Scout Project, Troy Florian recruited fellow scouts and worked with the borough’s maintenance contractor to clear weeds and exacavate the entrance, which was filled with stone when the mine closed. A pathway and informational sign will also be installed.

Export officials are excited about the creation of a historical area showcasing the borough’s mining history.
