How can developers take a former factory, rich in history, and transform it into a successful retail powerhouse? 

Today we're joined by Damon Hemmerdinger, Co-President at ATCO and Camp North End's Placemaker-in-Chief. Once used to produce Model Ts and Army missiles, this 76-acre historic industrial site now serves as a hub for creativity and innovation, as Charlotte's largest adaptive reuse project, in the heart of the North End Smart District. 

Listen along as we take a deep dive into ATCO's plans for the project, discuss how public art and repurposing buildings became crucial to the redevelopment efforts, and why short-term leases are beneficial to both landlords and a sites trendy and "fresh" atmosphere.
