“These projects not only restore our environment but also create jobs and spur economic development in areas that have long shown the impacts of past mining activities. ” The 2025 AMLER funding will support projects that demonstrate a clear connection between reclamation and economic or community benefits, such as: Redevelopment of mine sites for commercial, recreational, or industrial use.
Creation of job opportunities through construction, tourism, or new businesses. Restoration of natural landscapes to enhance community safety and environmental health. Eligible applicants, including local governments, economic development organizations, and nonprofit entities, are encouraged to submit project proposals to the ADOW-AML Program.

The deadline for submitting applications is close of business January 31, 2026. “Through the AMLER Program, we are turning liabilities into assets for Alabama’s coal-impacted counties,” said Jennifer Holton, Deputy Secretary of Workforce and Acting Director of Mining and Reclamation.
