Frontier Ethanol Plans Groundbreaking Today for 60 Million Gallon Per Year Fuel Ethanol Plant in Iowa

---

Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources, Incorporated; Houston, Texas). Cooperative-owned ethanol venture Frontier Ethanol LLC (Gowrie, Iowa), part of privately-held The Broin Companies (Sioux Falls, South Dakota), has scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony for April 21, at 1:30 p.m. to kick-off construction of Iowa's nineteenth ethanol plant. Project owners and developers, along with local and state politicians, will gather at 1:30 p.m. today at the Prairie Valley High School site in Gowrie to mark the ceremonial beginning of construction of yet another ethanol plant in Iowa.

Plans call for the creation of a nameplate 60 million gallon per year dry-grind ethanol plant that will chew up about 21 million bushels of locally grown corn per year and produce Dakota Gold brand livestock feed from the dried distiller's grains by-product.

Broin has provided the ethanol technology for the project and will manage the construction portion of this estimated $70 plus million project. Some site preparation and pre-construction activities are currently underway and foundations for the equipment are scheduled to be poured by early June of 2005. Construction is scheduled to take twelve to fourteen months to complete.

Frontier is the nineteenth plant to be constructed in Iowa. Currently fourteen plants are operational in the state, and the Gowrie project will be the sixth currently under construction. Four additional plants are in the pre-construction stages of development.
