Gina Duwe of the Janesville Gazette reports on the groundbreaking for the North Prairie biodiesel production facility:

EVANSVILLE-"Evansville loves this project."

Mayor Sandy Decker's words at Monday's groundbreaking for the $60 million biodiesel plant summed up a year of planning and fund-raising for the project.

While biofuel plants in cities as near as Milton have spawned lawsuits and filled city council meetings with angry residents, that hasn't been the case in Evansville.

"It is a perfect fit for our community," Decker said during a ceremony Monday near where the biodiesel plant will be built on the Evansville's east side.
