RAYMOND, Miss. (WJTV) - A Raymond resident filed an appeal against the Hinds County Board of Supervisors, Soul City Storage, and Soul City Energy over a solar farm project.

This comes several days after the Hinds County Board of Supervisors approved the project, which will be located near Raymond and Bolton.

Allison Lauderdale asked for a judge in the Hinds County Circuit Court to reverse the supervisors' vote. They approved the conditional use land permit 3-2.

According to Lauderdale, the residents are requesting an an environmental impact assessment be conducted before any new permits are granted for the project.

Raymond Mayor Isla Tullos asked for a one year delay from granting the permits requested by Apex Clean Energy, which owns Soul City Solar.

“Hinds County is well behind on keeping pace with regulatory updates, and we're asking a one year suspension until these guidelines are in place," said Lauderdale.

She said a public hearing was not conducted even though it was required for applicants seeking a conditional use permit.
