Cranberry Twp., north of Pittsburgh, is becoming the Houston if the Northeast with favorable business conditions and easy reach to Marcellus and Utica deposits in WV OH, and PA. Youngstown OH is coming back from the dead quickky. OH will add 60,000 energy jobs this year. Penn State estimates a $100 million impact to PA last year.
