From the local communities where the crops are grown and processed to the metropolitan areas where drivers fill up with a domestically produced fuel, American-made ethanol propels the economy.

In its 2002 study "Ethanol and the Local Community", AUS Consultants and SJH & Company found that:

• • With an approximate cost of $60 million for one year of construction, an ethanol plant expands the local economic base by $110 million each year.
  • Ethanol production will generate an additional $19.6 million in household income annually.
  • Tax revenue for local and state governments will increase by at least $1.2 million a year.
  • Nearly 700 permanent jobs will be created in the area near an ethanol plant."
