Efforts to build a $20 million biodiesel production plant in Douglas County are picking up state support. The Kansas Department of Commerce has agreed to help finance a feasibility study for a proposed plant, said Lynn Parman, vice president for economic development at the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. The department is providing $40,000 through its value-added loan program. Leaders of the chamber's New Horizons Agriculture Alliance hope to build a
plant that could employ more than three dozen people and pump out 20 million gallons of fuel each year.
