SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WCIA) — The dismantling of the former Pillsbury plant in Springfield is steadily advancing.

In a recent update on Tuesday, Team Pillsbury announced significant developments at the site. By Wednesday, the last remnants of the silver coating on the Headhouse were stripped away. Anticipated changes by next week include the removal of the iconic smiley face from the 180-foot-tall Turbo Building, followed by the plant’s demolition with the aid of a crane.
