WEST LEBANON - A South Dakota-based company that operates ethanol plants in seven states is in negotiations to build its largest facility so far in Warren County.

The Warren County Board of Zoning Appeals voted Tuesday to grant a special exception to landowners north of West Lebanon that would help clear the way for a proposed $260 million ethanol plant to be constructed by POET LLC.
