Grey Hosiery Mill Timeline Shows Proud Hendersonville History
A chronology traces Grey Hosiery Mill from 1915 building of 32 knitting machines and 25 workers through expansions in 1919 and 1947, 1967 closure by Holt Hosiery Mills, city acquisitions in 1990 and 2005, and a long series of redevelopment efforts including a 2017 hotel plan and 2019 apartment project, with tax credits and political backing shaping the site’s fate.
