North State Media, which owns the North State Journal and some community newspapers in central North Carolina, acquired a Charlotte printing plant that The Wall Street Journal developed in 1982 and sold to the Charlotte Observer’s parent company in 2013.
A Mecklenburg County filing shows North State Media paid $4.65 million for the property in November. North State President Neal Robbins announced the purchase this week.
