RENEWABLE ENERGY PLANT PLANS:
The Copiah County Economic Development District has been working with a major renewable energy company to build a wood pellet plant here in Copiah County. After many months of research, preparation, negotiations and regulatory work, the agreements are on track and the outlook is very good for the concept to be fulfilled.The facility will process and ship an estimated 320,000 tons of wood pellets per year to European utilities via ports on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Copiah County has stepped toward the leading edge of the renewable energy market, and has given extra support to our existing timber industry.
