Word on the street: There’s action at former Citizen-Times printing plant location on Sardis Road

Loyal reader Bill tells me that there’s action at the location of the Asheville Citizen-Times‘ former printing plant on Sardis Road. He says it looks like someone’s moving in.

Here’s what I last wrote about the property:

The site was sold to an injection molding company that plans to produce medical equipment. They’ll be looking to build a clean room, which sounds like that could mean a significant investment in a building, not to mention the prospect of new manufacturing jobs. 

It’s unclear what the company will produce. As I stated earlier, I have yet to confirm the property transfer. If anyone has more detail, let me know.

The Citizen-Times closed the printing press back in January and moved the giant press out this summer. I’m told it mostly went to scrap – that’s a correction on my part. I thought that most of it went into storage in Greenville, S.C.

I’m tracking down details if anyone has anything to add, please let me know.
