Southern Ethanol Co.’s officials came to Amory to meet with Amory’s mayor and board of aldermen Tuesday night, April 15. This company had secured property in the city’s waterway industrial park a couple years ago but nothing has happened in the time frame they had earlier promised. The company was going to produce biodiesel fuel, ethanol, by distilling corn. Whether they are still planning the same facility they had earlier obtained land for is still unknown to the general public since they went into a closed door meeting with Amory officials to discuss their plan. No new action was taken by the board regarding the company. When last contacted, Southern Ethanol officials had stated that they were still trying to secure financing for their Amory operation.
