Gazette Corner: Landmark will match 4 million grant if given;

Click on the post for the scoop by Gina Duwe of the Janesville Gazette.

The $4,000,000 grant was the subject of an Evansville Common Council Resolution last Tuesday night, with the Council giving its blessing on the efforts of lobbyists, and the efforts of both Brett Davis and Jon Erpenbach to see this crushing plant happen in Evansville.

The article in the Gazette reviews the costs of the engineering studies necessary to get the project rolling forward. As the article mentions, this project means a huge benefit for Evansville, and all of Wisconsin.

The increased commercial valuation of a successful biodiesel and crushing plan for Evansville would be a huge asset for Evansville. As readers of The Observer have noted, Evansville has some dreams of new libraries, fire stations, schools,, etc, etc. and a key component of growth is a balance of commerical and residential, and thus residents are hopeful the success of these projects will mean a vital growing Evansville.
