Meetings begin this week in Illinois to interest investors in the Diamond Ethanol plant at Charleston.

Green Lion Bio-Fuels is the developer of the plant and others underway in Streator (Emerald Ethanol LLC), and Beardstown (Prairie Breeze Ethanol LLC).

The meetings will offer interested farmers, landlords, and other off-farm investors an opportunity to buy shares in the Diamond Ethanol plant. Stock offerings for the Emerald Ethanol and Prairie Breeze Ethanol plants conclude later this month.

More information can be found on the Diamond Ethanol website.
