The Wellington City Council approved the annexation of land east of the city on which a renewable natural gas company plans to build a facility that would create 40 jobs within the first six months of its being built.
The property is 144.5 acres located at the southwest corner of U.S. 160 and Seneca Road and owned by Charter Equities II, LC. This property would be the location of the Verbio North American Corporation, a biomethane plant out of Big Rapids, Michigan.
