City, county moving forward with BioNitrogen incentive packages

Posted on July 30, 2014

The Taylor County Commission and Perry City Council are both moving forward with items which could help draw $220 million in capital investment to the county in the form of Project Freedom, the code-name for the West Palm Beach company, BioNitrogen Corp.

According to company officials, BioNitrogen plans to utilize patented technology to convert biomass into urea fertilizer at a series of plants, including potentially one in Taylor County.

According to reports, construction is expected to begin on that plant before the end of the year.
