Built in the 1980's, the cotton mill was a gorgeous building of 122,000 square feet, with arched brick windows and pine wood floors. The mill manufactured uniforms for soldiers during the First and Second World Wars and was one of the first places to make denim. Up until the mill ceased operations in the 1950s, the area surrounding the site was a Cotton Mill Pre-Highway traditional mill village, which included a mill store and neighborhood housing for the workers. When the mill closed the building was used for storage and warehousing over time. Unfortunately, a week-long fire caused but arsonists in the spring of 1995 reduced this historic building to two burnt structures. TODAY The mill's remains still site prominently within the district, visible from above to the thousands of motorists who enter the city each day from the Interstate 240 Bridge. The cotton mill property covers less a little over 3 acres, but community leaders deem the site to be one of the most important parcels in the entire riverfront revitalization effort. Cotton Mill Today the River Arts District in Asheville consists of a vast array of artist, working studios, culinary experiences and breweries set in an urban scene of old factories and historical buildings. Everywhere you turn, art abounds - with something around every corner. Visitors are encouraged to walk the greenway. Getting around in the RAD is a breeze. The area is easily accessible by car from Downtown Asheville, West Asheville, Biltmore Village - parking is free and a trolly is offered! The RAD is undergoing many improvement envisioned by community leaders, artists, residents, and business partners to create a vibrant, long term urban plan recognizing the French Broad River as one of Asheville's greatest treasures.

  • Asheville Weaves Brownfields Into Regional Development Plans the Historic Cotton Mill
    Asheville, North Carolina: Historic Cotton Mill Creating a New Urban Fabric: Asheville Weaves Brownfields into Regional Development Plans Nestled in the scenic mountains of western North Carolina, the eclectic city of Asheville offers a wealth of environmental, artistic, and cultural treasures. The city’s charms are no secret and in recent years droves of visitors and retirees have decided to make Asheville a seasonal base, fueling the area’s booming second home market. Yet, Asheville is a land of contrasts. While housing developers busily carve away at virgin hillsides, older sections of the city languish— particularly former industrial lands situated along the French Broad River. Although tensions between growth and environmental preservation continue to mount, community leaders believe that long-range, integrated planning efforts are producing acceptable compromises that will capture the benefits of growth while preserving the assets that make the region special. For over twenty years community groups have been conducting planning and visioning exercises for Asheville’s riverfront. One of the most active groups is RiverLink, a non-profit organization which encourages environmental protection and economic prosperity along the French Broad River. Not only does the organization educate the public about water quality and economic revitalization issues, it also spearheads comprehensive planning efforts. The Wilma Dykeman Riverway Plan, a document which presents development and design guidelines for 17 miles of Asheville’s riverfront, examines issues such as land use, signage, transportation, public art, landscaping, and opportunities for health. It is one of RiverLink’s many important accomplishments. Adopted by the City of Asheville and Buncombe County, the plan serves as a vision for the riverfront’s revitalization and has even been incorporated into local zoning codes.
