Transforming history: Pillsbury Plant gets new life
Fehr Graham is helping clean up one of the largest brownfield sites in central Illinois. The project made national news when The Associated Press explored the unique project spearheaded by Moving Pillsbury Forward, a nonprofit group dedicated to "community redevelopment to eliminate and prevent blight in and around the former Pillsbury Mills site." In January, our team helped secure $2 million in funding. Fehr Graham also helped the group secure $787,135 in funding in June 2023 to continue working on the 18-acre site.
