A group of Little River County residents is suing County Judge Larry Cowling, claiming he didn’t have authority to grant tax breaks to Nextera Energy without quorum court approval.
A circuit judge denied a preliminary injunction, meaning the case will go to trial. Nextera plans a solar farm and battery center on 2,000 acres near Highway 108 and is seeking a 65% tax abatement. Cowling says the incentives will benefit the county, while residents argue he overstepped his authority.
