CORUNNA (WJRT) -- (12/30/07)-Plans for a $150 million dollar ethanol plant in Corunna appear to be on hold. Work was originally slated to begin on an E-85 plant in Corunna this month.
The facility was slated to be built on 300 acres off Parmenter Road near M-71. But now, a plan to build the plant has stalled.
"It's not dead," said Corunna City Manager Joe Sawyer. "We're in a very frustrating holding pattern at this point."
Last July, the state gave the city of Corunna a $900,000 grant for the project which will now have to be declined. The city sent their official notification to the state this week.
The city will hopefully have a better idea if the project can still move forward this summer. At that point -- if funds are still available -- they can reapply for the grant.
Efforts are currently underway constructing ethanol plants in Iowa and Nebraska.
