The $185 million dollar project will break ground in late 2008 and begin producing ethanol in mid 2010. The plant will employ 65 people and will operate 24 hours a day, 350 days a year. The plant will purchase 40 million bushels of corn from farmers in upstate New York, Pennsylvania, the Midwest and Canada and sell 110 million gallons of ethanol to supply regional gas blenders who want to distribute E10 gasoline.

The founders are restoring the facility’s grain storage capacity preserving the magnificent concrete silos for re-use in partnership with the grain industry.

There are several factors related to RiverWright that will enable it to complete effectively in the fuel ethanol industry. These include: an existing plant infrastructure and grain storage, water and rail access for incoming grain and outgoing ethanol, ready-markets for ethanol into the local and regional fuel market, perfect project timing with an unprecedented demand for ethanol, strong support from the City of Buffalo, County of Erie and New York State and a dedicated professional project team.
