Raymond resident files appeal over solar farm project
SUMMARY: A Raymond resident, Allison Lauderdale, filed an appeal against the Hinds County Board of Supervisors and Soul City Energy over a recently approved solar farm project near Raymond and Bolton, Mississippi. The supervisor's approval of the project, with a 3-2 vote, prompted Lauderdale to seek a reversal of the decision in the Hinds County Circuit Court, requesting an environmental impact assessment before new permits are granted. Raymond Mayor Isla Tullos also called for a one-year delay to ensure updated regulatory guidelines are applied. Lauderdale argued that a required public hearing was not conducted for the conditional use permit approval.

SUMMARY: Plans for a massive solar farm in Hinds County, Mississippi, face backlash from residents who argue the project was approved too quickly and may harm the environment, local wildlife, and property values.

Resident Allison Lauderdale has filed an appeal seeking a year-long construction delay, citing a lack of state guidelines for large-scale solar projects. Apex's Brian O'Shea defends the project, stating solar energy's widespread, non-polluting benefits.
