Trevor,
Can you tell me what the latest status is for the Ohio Valley Resources nitrogen fertilizer project in Rockport IN and why there is no website for the company?
Hi Don, there’s no latest status … as I understand it, this project is in a holding pattern, awaiting market clarity when other projects either move forward or fall away (eg, Midwest Fertilizer Co).
There’s never been a website – I guess they don’t see the need for one until the project is confirmed.
Best,
T.
