Grant to help Cumberland biodiesel plant
MADISON – A $385,850 grant has been awarded to the city of Cumberland to cover half the cost to design and build a new street to improve access to Sun Power Biodiesel’s new facilities.
The city of Cumberland is contributing $385,850 to meet the local matching fund requirements of the program, according to a press release from Gov. Jim Doyle’s office. The total project cost is $771,700.
Sun Power Biodiesel, which employs 285 people in Cumberland, is investing $6.1 million to expand its biodiesel plant. The facility will include a canola seed-crushing plant and a production plant that will produce premium cold-flow biodiesel fuel for many vehicles that now use petroleum-based diesel.
