< p>NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) — Adams County hopes to advertise for bids in April for port improvement construction related to a biofuels project.

Elevance Renewable Sciences Inc. announced in 2011 its plans to convert the Delta BioFuels plant into a bio-refinery, in which fuels and other chemicals will be produced from organic matter. The company — which makes chemical ingredients for personal care products, detergents, plastics and lubricants — said it will invest more than $225 million in the project.

Since then, the company says it has spent about $1 million on improvements to the plant.

Adams County is going to build a liquid loading dock.

Officials tell the Natchez Democrat (http://bit.ly/1553vXp ) that the county could solicit bids in April, award the bid in May or June and begin construction shortly thereafter.
