More of a greenish color. It was way too cold to take out my camera and take the picture. Phone quality
Re: Pillsbury "A" Mill Redevelopment
Like a dusty blue green.

Great to see this sign going back up again. Better yet for it to be lit by new technology that will both reduce energy consumption and reduce greatly the amount of maintenance it will need compared to Neon. I'm hoping that they do the same with the Grain Belt sign and switch it over to LED lights in the near future and get that relit again.

Looks like the hydroelectric turbine and generator are being installed this week.

What is your source on that?Looks like the hydroelectric turbine and generator are being installed this week.
Re: Pillsbury "A" Mill Redevelopment
I walked by and saw a crane set up over a large (20x40'?) vault opened up in the sidewalk. They might just be putting in some other large piece of HVAC equipment, I suppose.

This is for the work they're doing to restore the hydropower system that runs under Main Street to the mill.I walked by and saw a crane set up over a large (20x40'?) vault opened up in the sidewalk. They might just be putting in some other large piece of HVAC equipment, I suppose.
In other news, the sign arrived this morning:

Re: Pillsbury "A" Mill Redevelopment
Th apostrophe on the sign went up today, meaning all the characters have been reinstalled. Excited to see this relit.
They've also installed blue and white lighting on the rooftop water tower. Looks nice.

Re: Pillsbury "A" Mill Redevelopment
I Saw that blue light last night, really cool, I wonder if it changes color as well.
Re: Pillsbury "A" Mill Redevelopment
I think if the lighting is LED that is almost a given.
Re: Pillsbury "A" Mill Redevelopment
The hydro equipment should be energized this week.

Re: Pillsbury "A" Mill Redevelopment
Hmm. I was walking around down there last week and the tailrace is still under construction. Also, don't walk around down there. I nearly lost my shoes in the muck.
