YOUNGSTOWN -- Exterran Energy Solutions told the City of Youngstown that it plans to build a 65,000-square-foot, $13.2 million, natural gas compression plant in the Salt Springs Road Business Park. The plant would employ more than 100 workers.
The Houston-based company assists firms that use the fracking method to drill for oil and natural gas. Those companies are flocking to the Marcellus and Utica shales region that includes the Mahoning Valley.
