Following rumors that Vesper Energy has reportedly notified residents that the city supports the proposed lithium battery facility near DeSoto High School, the city has released a statement.
The DeSoto Tribune spoke with Alex Rohr, Manager of Community Affairs for Vesper Energy in early July about the proposed facility and its location.
The proposed storage facility would place a lithium-ion energy storage facility near DeSoto High School and neighboring residential areas.
A petition opposing the proposed facility was created and has garnered just over 400 signatures.
