Friends,
Moving Pillsbury Forward has been in the news and making progress this month. Last week we secured contracts for $1.5M with the City of Springfield. Dean Olsen with the Illinois Times wrote a great article explaining our financial progress on the overall Pillsbury Project.

We also took advantage of great weather last week to advance our preservation photography project. It was dry in the AB-Mill basement so we took a few pictures of the Millwright workbenches. This is the area of the plant where the Millwrights kept their tools and planned for upgrades and repairs throughout the entire facility. Mid-Twentieth century manufacturing at our Springfield Pillsbury plant included in-house design, maintenance, repairs, and metal fabrication that was truly impressive.
Thanks for being a part of this important community project.
~ Team Pillsbury
