Oil company agrees to road repairs in Jackson Twp.

YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County commissioners this morning approved an agreement with Halcon Operating Co. and Jackson Township, under which Halcon agrees to repair at its expense any roads it damages as a result of traffic to and from its Davidson Well Pad for oil and gas drilling off West Bailey Court in Jackson Township.

One well has already been drilled at the site on the west side of Bailey Road just north of Interstate 76 and five more may be drilled there, said Patrick Ginnetti, county engineer.

The commissioners also bought a 1987 Chevrolet bucket truck from the Auglaize County Engineer’s Department for $6,500. The Mahoning County Engineer’s Office, which has been without such a truck for several years, will use it to trim high tree branches overhanging county roads, where necessary, Ginnetti said.
