The goal of the Eastern Mountain Coal Fields task force is to provide a platform for improving articles relating to the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field region.

The Eastern Mountain Coal Fields task force covers articles relating to the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field region of Kentucky. The 31 counties covered by the region, defined by the University of Kentucky, include: Bell, Breathitt, Boyd, Carter, Clay, Elliott, Floyd, Greenup, Harlan, Jackson, Johnson, Knott, Knox, Laurel, Lawrence, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Magoffin, Martin, McCreary, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, Owsley, Perry, Pike, Powell, Rowan, Whitley, and Wolfe counties.[1]

Basic to-do list:

• Expand the Eastern Mountain Coal Fields article to at least B-class.
• Continue tagging talk pages within our jurisdiction with:
  {{WikiProject United States|class=|importance=|KY=yes|KY-importance=|Eastern Mountain Coal Fields=yes}}

• Expand articles on cities by creating a section on topics such as: Government, Education, Climate. Historical population tables also need to be added.
