Knowles and attorney Joshua Sullivan argued Thursday against motions to dismiss two lawsuits.
One of the suits was filed on behalf of Dynamic Collision, challenging the zoning of the proposed site. The other was filed by Choice Fabricators and Advance Etowah, alleging a failure to provide documents related to the plant from the City of Gadsden, Gadsden-Etowah Industrial Development Authority and the Gadsden Water Works and Sewer Board.
Knowles argued that documents she's received — limited ones from the Water Works and some from other sources — indicate there is more information out there. She says it should be subject to discovery and made available to the plaintiffs.
