Northern Biodiesel has sealed the deal on a former 84 Lumber warehouse on Route 104 in Ontario, Wayne County, and is moving ahead with the launch of its biodiesel plant. The 20,000 plus square foot facility will house the biodiesel plant, along with a Harbec Plastics warehouse expansion, and a third company called Sustainable Energy Development. The start-up company plans to manufacture biodiesel fuel catering to fleets. Bob Bechtold, co-founder at Northern Biodiesel, said that they are focused on refurbishing the plant and expect it will be up and running in six months. For the first year, the plant expects to produce 1 to 2 million gallons a year, and eventually grow to a capacity of seven to 8 million gallons. The plant will start out with three to four employees and grow to some 10 to 14 employees, said Bechtold who also owns Harbec Plastics, a wind-powered factory located next to Northern Biodiesels future facility. Northern Biodiesels other founder is Jason Masters.

On a side note, it was a very long time before I realized 84 Lumber was not so named because one was located on Hwy. 84 in my hometown.
