Ohio Shale Conference Promotes Job Growth

Banking on the booming natural gas development in eastern Ohio, the Regional Chamber of Youngstown and Warren hosted a conference to promote the state’s role in the Marcellus and Utica shale plays.

Billed as Ohio’s Utica and Marcellus shale play conference and exposition, the YOUNG 2011 event took place at the Covelli Centre in Youngstown, Ohio, on Nov. 30, 2011. With a wide range of exhibitors from financial institutions to transportation contractors, the sold-out expo attracted thousands of attendees.

During the event, V&M Star, a pipe manufacturer that has been expanding its presence in Youngstown, made a major announcement that the company will invest another $57 million and add 100 full-time jobs at its facility.

The common theme of the event centered on job creation for the local economy, which is already seeing a boost from the work in the Marcellus shale and potential in the Utica fields.
