Jefferson City's Millbottom area has received plenty of attention recently.

One prominent piece of property that was identified for redevelopment was the large building just east of the trilevel interchange, originally built in 1905 as a shoe factory.

One of the people in charge of that particular piece of property is Gene Schneider. However, he said he was not aware until reports came out from the "Greening America's Capitals" charrettes that his property had been identified for something of that magnitude.
