FISHERS, Ind., April 16, 2020 /3BL Media/ - Land Betterment Corporation (“Land Betterment” or the “Company”), an environmental solutions company fostering positive impact through upcycling former coal mining sites to create sustainable community development and job creation, announced today it has entered into a multiyear agreement with a third party scrap metal company. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, Land Betterment will allocate certain areas of its Jasonville, Indiana property to receive, store, and process retired coal railcars to be recycled and reused for alternative, modern purposes.  Additionally, the third party will have the ability to assist Land Betterment expedite the reclamation of the old Gold Star coal mine (formerly known as the Landree Mine) through processing metal infrastructure, once used at the mine, to be recycled and to further accelerate the Company’s sustainable community development project slated to be built on this site.

Land Betterment is in the process of a major environmental remediation and repurposing project at the former Landree Mine, which was purchased through an asset purchase in August, 2019 from an insolvent hedge fund.  Land Betterment is now undertaking the full environmental cleanup of the old coal mining site and upcycling the land into the Company’s COAL Craft Spirits and Gold Star Farms business lines; a modern concept, organic, farm-to-bottle, craft spirits distillery and destination for the local community and visitors.

Kirk Taylor, Land Betterment’s President commented, “We are extremely excited to partner on this unique project at the old Landree Mine site to not only upcycle the property but also recycle coal railcars that are wasting away in various parts of the United States.  This partnership allows us to isolate an area on this property that can be utilized alongside our business development efforts.  This project is a great example of our complete solution-based program, and this metal recycling partnership is an important milestone.  Communities that have been negatively affected from the downturn in thermal coal, as the US increasingly shifts away from fossil fuels, are in need of some revitalization and real solutions.  Our Land Betterment platform not only cleans up the environment but it also revitalizes communities through commercial development and job creation.  We are confident that this project will be a gamer changer for the area, especially with the growing support of the local and regional community.
