Leaders In Potter Township Give Final Approval For Beaver County Shell Cracker Plant

Leaders in Potter Township have given their final approval to a major project that promises to create thousands of jobs and potentially billions of dollars in revenue. Shell wants to build a cracker plant in Potter Township, and last night, township supervisors unanimously voted to give final approval for a conditional use permit application. Supporters and opponents of the ethane cracker plant had one minute to voice their opinions before the supervisors voted. The plant has been a controversial issue for residents who live near the area where the plant will be located.
