McComas: Project Road Runner speeding along

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — We’re starting to get more details about a plan to bring a new industry to southeastern North Carolina.

State Rep. Danny McComas (R-19th District) says the so-called Project Road Runner is good for the community, the region and the state. He says it would be located at the Columbus/Brunswick County line, right across the road from where Project Soccer was supposed to go.

McComas said the project, which is rumored to be a Caterpillar factory, is moving quickly and should get a formal announcement in a week or two.

It does have competition from South Carolina and Georgia.
