A newly formed Jeff Davis Parish Industrial Tax Exemption Program (ITEP) committee approved a request Wednesday for a 10-year industrial tax break for a proposed $57 million solar project planned in Topsy, La., reports the American Press.
Committee members granted a request from Aypa Power to secure the industrial tax break for its Cajun Crossroads Energy Center project in rural Jeff Davis Parish. About 400 acres of the project will be located in Topsy in the northwest corner of Jeff Davis Parish with two-related projects to be located in Calcasieu Parish.
The Texas-based company ultimately plans to build a $440 million, 375-megawatt solar powered generation facility on 2,400 acres in Jeff Davis and Calcasieu parishes. Read more.
