QC Area = Ethanol Capitol of the World?

Another ethanol plant heads to Galva -QCTimes

$140 million ethanol plant in Galva to use 36 million bushels of corn -QCOnline (only available to non-subscribers for a limited time)

This is good news of course, and combined with the $130 million plant planned for Annawan, that adds up to 270 million bucks worth of construction within a 40 mile radius of the QC. That's more than 2 River Renaissances right there, as far as the construction industry is concerned. These plants seem to be (annoyingly?) efficient though, so despite costing a fortune, the Galva plant would only employ 45 people. Even so, these are the kind of projects that almost everyone agrees we need, and seem less controversial than say, pork plants.

We've got the corn, so we might as well attract industries that take advantage of it.
