Peoria Eyes Revival of Whisky Fame With New Plants
Peoria and Pekin prepare for a return to pre prohibition whisky output as five distilleries start operations by January end. Distilleries will consume about 65 000 bushels daily, boosting grain markets and creating over 2 000 permanent jobs plus construction employment. Hiram Walker & Sons begins gin, while Penn Maryland and American Distilling expand production. The Distillers & Brewers and Atlas projects rehabilitate former facilities as grain demand and revenue tax payments rise.
