Jamestown, ND (KCSi-T.V. News) — Informational topics were discussed and updated at the Stutsman Development Corporation, Board of Directors meeting.

On Wednesday’s (Aug 15, 2012) Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, JSDC Office Coordinator, DeAnn Brunner said, three companies have shown interest in the Spiritwood Energy Park Association (SEPA).

SEPA is the Industrial Park located near Great River Energy’s Spiritwood Station coal-fired generating plant and the Cargill Malt.

At this time, JSDC is not releasing the names of any of the prospective companies, due to confidentiality agreements. She said the most likely possibility was a large natural gas and water user that relied heavily on rail transportation.

The project may actually become the first at the SEPA Industrial Park, as a decision and possible groundbreaking may take place this fall, prior to the planned December 2012 groundbreaking for the Dakota Spirit AgEnergy plant.

Dakota Spirit AgEnergy is currently awaiting approval from the Environmental Protection Agency, for the a hybrid ethanol plant with a planned 75-million gallon per-year capacity.

The SEPA industrial park is partnering with the JSDC and Great River Energy and includes a rail loop providing access to the BNSF Railway mainline.

Businesses in the park could receive waste steam from the Spiritwood Station generating plant once it comes online.
