I would like to take this opportunity to recognize one of our businesses in Ashville. Natural Gas Equipment Services (NGES) is owned and operated by Jeff Thompson at the Ashville Commerce Center on State Route 752. Jeff worked for Columbia Gas Distribution for 20 years. He left in 2001 and started NGES in 2002.  They are contract with Columbia Gas Distribution and Columbia Gas Transmission for the calibration and repair of most types of equipment their field personnel use for maintaining facilities and pipelines. NGES is fully accredited and has a ISO Certified pressure instrument calibration lab. They service leakage survey equipment and transfer provers that are used for testing the accuracies of gas meters. They also recondition gas meters and sell reconditioned gas meters. The profile   of   customers   they

service include smaller gas companies like Lancaster Municipal Gas and Oil  and  gas

producers like Ohio Cumberland Gas.  NGES is a member of the Ohio Gas Association.

The Village of Ashville is associated with P3, our Economic Development partner that constructed and owns the LEED’s Facility. P3 was instrumental in this businesses being here.
