RIVERWALK SITE The rolling wooded landscapes and proximity to the river drew the CATAWBA INDIANS to the land in the late 1500s. The presence of the ford allowed the tribe to control this well-traveled portion of the path to Virginia. This was the beginning of Riverwalk s great HISTORICAL LEGACY. This very site has significance in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. It attracted a thriving textile industry in the early 1900s and was the site of a Celanese plant that would employ thousands of people after World War II into the 21st century. Still standing is the iconic Chicago Bridge & Iron water tower from 1946. ASSURED GROUP OF COMPANIES is a seasoned developer renowned for expertise in brownfield reclamation.
