Carolina Bank says in a legal filing that it committed to make three loans totaling $9.3 million to B.P. Greer Recycling in the summer of 2013, as well another $1 million loan in early 2014. According to the onlne report, Carolina Bank is seeking status as having a priority claim on B.P. Greer’s assets.
