Plans to build a multimillion dollar ethanol plant in Beaver County have apparently been ditched.
Pittsburgh-based Sunnyside Ethanol LLC had proposed building the ethanol plant and waste coal electrical facility on about 80 acres in Aliquippa. The plant was to be on land that once housed a sprawling steel facility.
Chuck Betters is one of the property owners. He says the credit crisis and the drop in gasoline prices apparently played a role in Sunnyside's decision to halt its plans.
Betters says Sunnyside had a sales option for the property, but it expired.
Sunnyside officials have said they are having difficulty securing funding for the Aliquippa plant, which would have been built on land along the Ohio River that once hosted a sprawling J&L Steel plant.
