Pillsbury Mills

A special performance will take place September 14.

The former Pillsbury plant in Springfield has been a sore spot for residents for many years. President of Moving Pillsbury Forward, Chris Richmond, spoke to Community Voices about the plans for the future as well as the stories he’s collected from former factory workers and their families. He also explained how the organization has helped the community heal by providing walk throughs of the property and an art exhibit that attracted more than a thousand visitors.

At one time, the site was considered the largest flour mill in the country.

Community Voices continues with an event you may have missed. The Citizens Club of Springfield hosted an update on Moving Pillsbury Forward.
