A public forum on the Titan Cement issue featuring [...]
A sharp-eyed Mom from the Porters Neck area recently called us to report that the new K-12 campus for northern New Hanover County is roughly three miles from the proposed Titan cement plant.

The ad is designed to convince us that breathing dust and swallowing mercury, hexavalent chromium and other deadly chemicals will be fun and profitable for all of us. [...]

If you haven’t already done so, it’s time to contact your elected officials in Raleigh and Washington, DC, and tell them how you feel about the proposed Titan cement plant. Below is a contact list for our elected leaders. At the state level they’re divided by the NC House of Representatives and NC Senate. For [...]
The public comment period for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers initial scoping meeting regarding the proposed Titan cement plant in Castle Hayne is now open. So it’s critical that everyone concerned about the proposed Titan plant say it loud and say it proud…but, we’ve been asked to make it relevant. According to Henry Wicker, [...]
