GRAND RAPIDS, MI – A Michigan company received a nearly $4.2 million federal grant to expand the sale and use of biodiesel and ethanol in three counties.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and Rural Development this week announced $239 million in funding nationwide to install and upgrade biofuels infrastructure such as fuel pumps, dispensers, and storage tanks. Grand Rapids-based Fleet Fueling of Michigan LLC was among the dozens of recipients of federal funding to boost the availability of domestic biofuels in 18 states.
