http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/news/story?id=48397One of the first large-scale biodiesel facilities in the Northeast is in planning by Berkshire Biodiesel LLC, the Massachusetts-based subsidiary of NorthWinds Biodiesel LLC.
The company will invest approximately $50 million to construct a 50 million gallon per year (mgy) biodiesel production facility to be located in Pittsfield and Dalton, Massachusetts, at Ashuelot Park, which is owned by Crane & Co., Inc.
"Pittsfield is truly a Green City as we are breaking ground into the increasingly important and growing renewable energy industry with one of the first large-scale biodiesel facilities in the Northeast," said Pittsfield Mayor James M. Ruberto.
Plus, the Town of Dalton, in concert with the City of Pittsfield, has just been awarded a $3.057 million grant from the State of Massachusetts' Executive Office of Transportation (EOT) Freight Rail Transportation Capital Improvement Grant Program to support the development of the project.
