Crooks said he also intends to invite officials from Wabash Valley Resources LLC to to appear on a future show to make their case for the project. He noted the EPA must approve a permit before the project proceeds.

The Indiana General Assembly has approved a project by Wabash Valley Resources to construct a billion-dollar facility north of Terre Haute designed to manufacture Fertilizer and collect and capture carbon and store it in the ground in our area.

The company also plans to build an 11 mile pipeline and may need to use eminent domain to secure easements. Many residents are opposed to the project and have attended recent meetings in Terre Haute, New Goshen and Universal.
