A Canadian fertilizer maker's American subsidiary, Ostara St. Louis Ltd., announced August 17 that it will bring 40 new, high-paying jobs to Missouri and make a $25 million capital investment in the establishment of a barge-served Crystal Green fertilizer production facility in St. Louis. The facility will be the company's largest in the U.S. Canadian-founded Ostara develops pat- ented, proprietary technologies that recover phosphorous and nitrogen from water treatment streams and produce eco-friend-ly fertilizer products. After a site selection search, Ostara executives selected St. Louis due to its ag tech industry, educational institutions and Midwestern location. Ostara's St. Louis operations will take place on the site of a granulation facility and river terminal formerly belonging to Bruce Oakley Inc.. The sale was announced in November. Ostara subsequently leased a property adjacent to the site. |
