Groundbreaking Today for Claypool Biodiesel Plant

Groundbreaking ceremonies this morning will officially begin construction of a huge biodiesel plant near the southern Kosciusko County town of Claypool. When it’s finished, the plant will be the largest facility of its kind in the world. Construction will employ about 300 people and take about a year and a half. Once the plant is up and running, about 85 people will work there. Governor Daniels, Lieutenant Governor Skillman and Congressman Souder will be among the V-I-Ps at this morning’s groundbreaking ceremonies.
