In Florida, United States EnviroFuels announced that it will end a two-year delay and break ground on a corn ethanol plant at the Port of Tampa by the end of 2008. The project, with an undisclosed capacity, had been sidelined by a lawsuit over emissions that attorneys say is close to resolution. United States Envirofuels had previously announced in December that it would commence construction by the end of 2007.
