. . . why should the pillsbury a mill be saved?
The Pillsbury A Mill was constructed on the Mississippi River at St. Anthony Falls in 1881. At the time of its construction the flour mill was the largest and most advanced in the world, and held this title for nearly 40 years.

Once referred to as “Mill City,” the Pillsbury A Mill is now the only standing giant mill that helped make Minneapolis the milling capital of the nation between 1880 and 1930.

Why now?
The Mill Complex is at risk of piecemeal redevelopment, the major concern behind local support. It is now owned by a bank that has signed purchase agreements with two separate development firms.
Local residents fear that the site will be broken up for piecemeal development, an outcome that could have negative consequences for the site’s historic buildings and landscape. Buildings that are more challenging to rehabilitate could sit vacant for years, deteriorating due to lack of maintenance and vandalism.
