North Iredell Neighbors for Rural Life received $1,250 from the Rowan-Iredell Citizens for a Clean Environment Monday night to help with legal expenses.
The North Iredell organization filed a civil complain and petition against Iredell County, the Board of Commissioners and the owners of McLain Farms to halt construction on the biodiesel plan and reverse commissioners' decision to rezone eight acres.
RICCE board member Mike Overcash said Snow Creek residents are facing the same problem it did in 1990 when it fought the state over the placement of an incinerator.
Overcash said the money was left over from $500,000 raised for that earlier battle.

It's great that the citizens of Iredell county are working together to protect the property they deserve to live on SAFELY.
If I remember correctly, the RICCE group was formed to combat an incinerator. - Not a biodiesel plant. This is not the same thing. That's important to remember. Not even close to being the same.
I'm sure there is a place for an incinerator. Same for a biodiesel plant. Neither is in anybody's backyard. Same principle!
