The 3rd Annual National Summit of Mining Communities is scheduled for September 7-11, 2008, in Butte and Anaconda, Montana. The Summit was created in 2006 in recognition of the diverse environmental and economic effects that mining communities experience as a result of the boom and bust cycles of mining. The Summit began in Leadville, Colorado, as a grassroots gathering of people from mining towns with emphasis on “communities talking to communities.” The format allows attendees to share information and learn about how other communities have overcome mining-related challenges and how they have moved forward with their own community planning process. - Mine Closure 2008
