Judge rules Titan permitting can move forward

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A step forward for a cement company’s plans to built a factory in Castle Hayne.

Titan America says a Wake County judge has removed an injunction imposed back in May. The decision means the state can move ahead reviewing Titan’s air quality permit.

Opponents to the proposed Carolinas Cement plant had argued tax incentives for the company opened it to more stringent regulation. Last fall the company declined the incentives, opening the door for the process to move forward.
