Citizens rally to stop Titan Cement’s ‘bullying tactics’

CASTLE HAYNE, NC (WWAY) — Some very concerned citizens gathered in Castle Hayne Wednesday afternoon to protest the proposed Titan Cement plant.

Folks gathered at Castle Hayne Elementary to show their opposition to what they call Titan’s attempts to influence, manipulate and bully citizens and elected officials. Marcher’s held up signs of mock “targets” of Titan’s bullying tactics.

“I think it’s important for citizens to come together and be vocal about issues affecting them and their neighbor,” said Brinkley Hutchings, a rally organizer. “Today people are joining together for the ‘Stop Titan Movement’ as they learn about Titan’s attempts to bully our community members.”

Participants marched down Holly Shelter and Blossom Roads and stopped near the new Stop Titan billboard.
