Construction of a $254 million facility in Lake County that would convert garbage to ethanol appears to be moving forward. The Post Tribune reports Evansville-based Powers Energy LLC has reached terms with three firms to build the plant in Schneider. Powers Energy officials say they still have to receive the necessary permits from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, but groundbreaking could occur as early as the spring of 2011.
Officials say they are awaiting the outcome of permitting for a similar facility in Florida before they move forward in Indiana.
The green energy facility is expected to initially employ up to 400 construction workers and up to 200 permanent staff members.
Lake County's Solid Waste Management District signed a contract last year with Powers Energy to eventually provide thousands of tons of municipal garbage on a daily basis.
