False.

Closing mines typically has significant economic impacts on local communities — direct job losses, reduced spending at local businesses, lower tax revenues, supplier layoffs, outmigration, and longer-term decline in services and property values. (There can be environmental or health benefits, but economically the effects are usually negative without careful transition planning.)
