Virginia biodiesel

Evedently someone paid attention to our local biodiesel manufacturer. Monday, state and federal representatives are coming to look the place over. One of Martinsville city councel members, Danny Turner, was talking about it this morning on a local radio station. He is hoping that the area may can benefit from this and get much needed new jobs going in the area. There is plenty of local farmland vacant in the area, especially in the winter when this canola is grown. It would be great for the local economy if we can get in on the ground floor of this, as well as beneficial for the environment and help relieve our dependence on foreign oil.

The Martinsville area has plenty of vacant buildings for manufacturing and plenty of workers that could do the job. Let's hope this brings some fresh new ideas to the area in hopes of turning things around.
