Robert Kraft opens Containerboard mill few miles from the Panthers new state of the art headquarters

If you drove by Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Waxhaw, Indian Land, Ballantyne or Weddington in the last month or so any smell raw sewage/rotten eggs that’s because Robert Kraft purchased New Indy paper mill and converted it to containerboard manufacturer.  People in the area are reporting respiratory/medical issues due to chemicals being dumped into the air.
 

It’s right down the river from the Panthers new facility that is being built.  EPA is investigating New Indy and let’s hope it will be resolved or else be prepared to wear gas masks to Panthers new state of the art facility.

That place has smelled up that area for a long time. 
 

I hope it gets fixed.

I drove thru there 3 weeks ago and I have never smelled anything more disgusting.  It’s like someone puts your face into a bucket of poo and you can taste the air.  Kraft opened that facility in one of the fastest growing areas in Charlotte metro and only like 2-3 miles from the Panthers future facility.  That’s a huge dick move.

I don’t disagree that it smells terrible, but that paper mill has been around for decades so that smell is nothing new. If you haven’t smelled it in the past 10 months that’s because they were converting 1 of their machines to brown container board.

That paper mill was purchased by Kraft and converted to containerboard production only few months ago.  That smell is new and is literally said so on all news websites including in the one posted above.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
