Ethanol plant under development near Yankton, South Dakota

In South Dakota, the Associated Press reports that project developers are looking to build an ethanol plant in the Napa Junction area where a grain shuttling business opened recently and a pelleting business is under construction. Already a condition use permit for the proposed facility will be voted upon December 28 by the Yankton County Commission. A $33 million private natural gas pipeline would be part of the project as well rather than spending $87 million to extend the current Northern Natural Gas line from nearby Yankton.
