Proposed Sparta ethanol plant gets warm reception at meeting
A story by Steve Cahalan in the La Crosse Tribune reports on plans for a 40 million gallon ethanol plant:
BANGOR, Wis. — The concept of farmers banding together to build and operate an ethanol plant in Sparta, Wis., got a warm reception at a public meeting attended by about 300 people Monday night in Bangor.
The city of Sparta is offering 34 acres of free land for the proposed project, just east of the Century Foods International plant, Sparta City Administrator Ken Witt said. The plant, which would make ethanol from corn, might employ 35 to 40 people.
