Register Now for Utica Summit III on Oct. 13 What will we discuss at Utica Summit III? One key topic will be how energy companies are using Utica gas to generate electricity. Advanced Power, for instance, is building a natural gas-fired power plant in Carroll County, Ohio. It will create 500 new construction jobs over the next two years and generate enough electricity for 750,000 homes. You can hear more about this exciting project and its effect on the local and regional economy from Jonathon Winslow, vice president of development at Advanced Power. He is just one of several speakers at our summit. This is the third year that the Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce, The Repository, and ShaleDirectories.com have partnered to produce this regional conference designed to give you insights on energy in the Utica shale play and beyond.
