North Dakota Soybean Processors (NDSP) has been forced to abandon efforts to build a large-scale soybean crushing facility in North Dakota after more than three years and $6 million of investment, reports Biofuels International.
The decision on the plant, which was to be located at the Spiritwood Energy Park in Spiritwood, ND, was made earlier in February.
"...The SEPA board voted last July to terminate our site contract to construct the first farmer owned soybean crush plant in the State at the Spiritwood Energy Park," NDSP president Bruce Hill told Biofuels International. "We were disappointed in the decision and we went to court to try and build a plant at that site.”
However, NDSP recently agreed with SEPA to dismiss its lawsuit with prejudice, which resulted in the decision to pull the plug on the Spiritwood facility.
