Redevelopment Projects Give Historical Icons a Second Life

Casualties of the changing face of American industry and culture, historic factories and districts were abandoned for decades. Now developers around the country are giving them a second life

The restoration of Durham's Historic American Tobacco campus--now the center of downtown entertainment and nightlife--was North Carolina’s largest historic renovation project.

"That to me is really the power of the project," Goodmon says. "We look forever at the success of the American Tobacco has been tied to the community. This is a community asset. We want the community to think of this as theirs."
