When America’s textile industry declined and the once bustling region became part of an emerging ‘rust belt’, as demographics began to change and families and jobs migrated to southern states, the town of Utica, New York fell on hard times. Factories closed and then crumbled. In just a few short decades, the population fell from around 120,000 to 65,000 today.
