Company defends Hinds County solar farm plans
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. Apex Clean Energy, a Virginia-based company, has secured initial approval from the Hinds County Board of Supervisors, but further approvals are required from state and federal agencies. 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.
