reindustrialized
Manufacturing came back
Reindustrialized describes a region or economy that has rebuilt its manufacturing base after a period of industrial decline.
The term often appears in discussions of economic policy and job creation: The Rust Belt cities hope to be reindustrialized through green energy manufacturing.
It can also describe the process itself: The region reindustrialized over two decades.
