A Hawkins County Plant Has Been Sold. The Nu-Energie Biodisel Facility In The Phipps Bend Industrial Park Was Auctioned Off Yesterday To A New York Businessman Who Basically Wanted The Equipment Inside. He Plans To Dismantle It And Ship It To New York And Vermont. Meanwhile, A Las Vegas Businessman’s High Bid For The Property Was Rejected. His Plans Were To Purchase The Equipment And Operate The Plant As An Ongoing Biodiesel Business In Its Current Location.
