OLD SHAWNEETOWN — Gov. JB Pritzker and other state leaders were at Shawneetown Port on Thursday to celebrate the groundbreaking of a fertilization distribution center.

The facility is expected to be completed in 2026 and create nearly 50 new jobs. It is funded a combined $27 million in public and private funds, including a $12.6 million investment from Pritzker's Rebuild Illinois capital program.
