Discussion of Repurposing Old Factories
Lowe Mill (Huntsville Alabama) was a textile factory originally before being purchased by Genesco and used as a factory. See https://lowemill.art/history/. It is now a large arts center. Perhaps a new section can be added for old facilities which have been repurposed. This could be nice examples of Mill Conversion for old Genesco facilities.

Questioning Lack of US Manufacturing
Compare the statement in this article: "Genesco exited the business of shoe manufacturing when it closed Johnston & Murphy's Nashville, TN factory in 2002. Genesco now contracts with independent, third parties located outside the United States to manufacture its branded and licensed footwear" To a statement in the article on Allen Edmonds that AE and J&M are both among "the handful of manufacturers still making men's dress shoes in the US" The two statements leave it unclear whether Johnston & Murphy manufactures shoes in the U.S. or only outside. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.202.188.38 (talk) 00:56, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
