Abstract:

Revolution Mill, representing the mill district, was once an economic powerhouse in Greensboro. Currently, there’s the potential to offer an economic boost to the community. Businesses with this potential include Self Help, a Durham based credit union; apartments; and the New York based LT Apparel Group. Revolution Mills and its community also offers a synthesis of old and new. Revolution Mills’ structure is maintaining its architectural integrity, while the surrounding area caters to modern tastes such as bicycling and hiking trails.
