Construction of a proposed $6.5-$7 billion natural gas processing and production facility could begin by the end of the year, a project that will create at least 3,500 construction jobs and then 350 permanent jobs in Ector County, a Houston-based gas manufacturing company announced Wednesday.

The Odessa Development Corporation negotiated the agreement with Nacero, Inc., which plans to build the plant in Penwell.

“This is the biggest deal in Odessa since El Paso Products was built on the south side in 1956.” Odessa City Councilman Steve Thompson said. “This is a great opportunity for the community.”
