The hulking former Pillsbury Mills plant in Springfield, Ill., is seen, Dec. 30, 2022. It presents a challenge for the citizen nonprofit organization, Moving Pillsbury Forward, but the group has collected $6 million in commitments and has a road map for securing the balance of the $10 million it says it needs to demolish the 500,000 square feet of former factory before redeveloping the 18-acre site. The mill operated under Minneapolis-based Pillsbury and another owner for 71 years but has been vacant nearly a quarter-century. (AP Photo/John O'Connor)
