Mill Makeovers: Optimist Hall
Clip: Season 10 Episode 5 | 6m 27sVideo has Closed Captions
A 'Mill Makeover' brings jobs and new small businesses to an old Charlotte neighborhood.
In Charlotte’s oldest neighborhoods, the textile mills that used to anchor those neighborhoods 100 years ago are making a comeback. They’re part of Charlotte’s living history, and now also part of our future, after a series of 'Mill Makeovers' that PBS Charlotte first reported on 5 years ago. This week, we return to Optimist Hall, to see what a difference a few years can make.
