Champaign County ethanol plant bid hits snag

CHAMPAIGN – The Clint Atkins family has several concerns about a proposed ethanol plant, and the family won't sign, at least for now, an agreement necessary for the city to get its boundaries next to the project site to annex it.

That could substantially weaken Champaign County's bid for the $140 million plant, which has been proposed to be located near The Andersons grain-elevator complex in northwest Champaign, near the junction of Staley Road and U.S. 150.
