Factory Town

Factory Town is located in the formerly abandoned and Dixie Bedding mattress factory which was built in 1946 and employed 200 people at one time and primarily worked as a contractor to the United States Army to provide bedding for troops. Avra Jain bought the site in order to make the youth of Hialeah, who had been moving out of the city in large numbers, interested in staying. A large kapok tree in the middle of the site was retained to create an ecological garden. ==Noise complaints==

Shortly after its inception, the neighboring city of Miami Springs sued the venue for noise complaints. Miami Springs demanded Factory Town “abate all noise entering the [city]”. However, since the venue is not located in Miami Springs, the city has instead sought legal action in Miami-Dade County courts. The lawsuit from Miami Springs was ultimately dismissed after Factory Town hired a sound engineer and put in place measures to reduce the noise. However, this has not stopped locals from complaining about the noise including those from Hialeah and Brownsville. ==References==
