Pearl River Public Comment Meeting
|
The Pearl River as we know and love it is at risk from a "One Lake" project in the central part of the state. The proposal calls for a dam to be constructed to create a 1,900 acre lake just south of Jackson. Yet, opponents and stakeholders south of the project point to the serious impacts the project would have on communities downstream - like Hancock County. Reducing downstream freshwater flows could jeopardize our water quality, our seafood industry and the ongoing coastal restoration projects.
This is the only public meeting being held in Lower Mississippi. Please attend to make your voice heard. Our Pearl deserves better.
