PLAQUEMINE – The Iberville Parish Council has voted to reject Entergy’s proposed Cypress Harvest Solar project for a second time.

The 12-1 vote, with council member Terry Bradford abstaining, upholds the council's original denial.

In August, Entergy representatives met with Plaquemine residents to address community concerns regarding the planned development off La. 75.

Local residents raised objections over the facility's proximity to homes, schools, and neighborhoods, as well as potential long-term costs and environmental impacts.
