"Our facility that employed over a hundred construction workers during the construction process that lasted for several months this year. And it will also provide permanent jobs."

Two-hundred workers were employed at the Mexico compressor station or at the project headquarters in Bowling Green. In addition to creating jobs, the Rockies Express project has also brought in a lot of revenue for the state. Missouri counties where the pipeline is located are expected to receive millions of dollars in property tax revenue. The major complaint associated with compressor stations across the country is the noise they make and its impact on the residential areas close to them. Fore says they strategically located the compressor station near Mexico in a rural area so that it doesn't affect any residents.

"Its in a rural location where there is little impact on area residents and its also a facility that is buffered by sound around the infistucture so there is little sound that escapes from it."

College student from Mexico Mike Bernardi had his concerns about the noise, but says he is now happy that about the compressor being located in the area because of the economical ways it will benefit the area.

"Well I think that its pretty good; its brought a lot of jobs and money to the county."

The entire Rockies Express pipeline is scheduled to be in full service November 1st. © Copyright 2012, KBIA
