Notes
8/30/2006 "It will utilize more than 20 existing buildings including four grain elevators, two former flour mills and a malting house. Located on an 18-acre parcel along the Buffalo River, the plant is expected to produce 110 million gallons of ethanol annually. As many as 60 lake freighters a year are expected to serve the plant, delivering some of the 40 million bushels of corn the ethanol plant will use for production. RiverWright will break ground this September on the site which includes 20 existing buildings, and ethanol production is set to begin in September 2007, with 65 full-time permanent jobs. They have the potential to sell 100 million gallons of ethanol annually and 400,000 tons of feed grain annually, and 24 separate rail lines enter the property."
