Flint Hills Resources, which produces half the gasoline sold in Minnesota, plans to spend $400 million to upgrade its 57-year-old Pine Bend Refinery in Rosemount, the company's largest investment there in at least a decade.

The project, requiring more than 500 additional construction workers starting in 2014, aims to boost efficiency without increasing the refinery's size, so that more barrels of crude oil can be processed each day, the company told the Star Tribune.
