Tempe announces plans to restore Hayden Flour Mill

The City of Tempe announced plans to restore Hayden Flour Mill, which has been closed for nearly 30 years, during its State of the City Address on Friday.

The structure that gave Mill Avenue its name has been shut down since 1998.

In an effort to restore the historic Hayden Flour Mill, the city has begun by requesting bids from companies to look over the machinery and equipment inside the structure.

Tempe plans to begin a structural assessment of the mill, the first step in figuring out what needs to be done to restore the building.

From there, the city will be able to determine what’s salvageable, what needs repair and what uses the building can safely accommodate to develop a realistic plan with the costs involved and how to pay for it.

The city did not announce a completion date, as it noted the project will take some time.
