Titan announces plans to move quarry

One issue that may have impacted a lot of votes in our area is the future of Titan Cement.

To the dismay of many residents, Titan plans to reopen the Old Roanoke cement plant in Castle Hayne.

Today the company announced a plan to move the quarry across Holly Shelter Road, putting it about a mile from the Cape Fear River.

River Keeper Doug Springer, said moving the quarry is a good thing, but he believes it will not be long before the resources are used up, and Titan will have to look for a new spot, back closer to the river.
