(Hartley)– Another ethanol plant is coming to Iowa.
Verasun Energy Corporation says it plans to build a 110 million gallon a-year plant near Hartley.
Construction is slated to begin later this year and will take about 16 months to complete.
The plant will process more than 39 million bushels of corn a year and employ about 50 people.
Verasun, based in Brookings, South Dakota, is the nation’s second-largest ethanol producer. The company has two ethanol plants in operation–in Aurora, South Dakota and Fort Dodge. It’s building another plant in Charles City with a fourth one under development in Welcome, Minnesota.
