Community Support
Envision a campus–home to multiple breweries, barley malting and hops processing facilities, light manufacturing and support services for our tenants.
For nearly 100 years, the Mill defined manufacturing in Vicksburg by acting as a pillar of the community that impacted every aspect of life in the Village. Generations of families powered the Mill with their creativity and brawn. We’re celebrating that legacy by restoring the original grandeur and upgrading the buildings with cutting-edge improvements.
Fueled from top to bottom by a solid Midwestern work ethic and the desire to do whatever it took to get the job done correctly, the Mill earned a reputation for making excellent, high quality products. We share those same traits, and the desire to prove that we are the best at what we do will continue to permeate every aspect of the Mill Works complex.
With a clear understanding that a strong Mill meant a strong and prosperous community, everyone associated with the operation knew that the rising tide lifts every boat. We know that our efforts also stand a good chance of improving the quality of life for members of our community. If we work together, a strong Mill can work for us all.

There are several ongoing conservation efforts in progress that will play a vital role in the design and structure of this historic building. From repurposing wooden beams to planting an edible forest, it seems The Mill has it all.
The Lee Paper Mill brought a thriving economy to Vicksburg in the mid-to-late 1900s. Upon its closing in 2001, the village encountered a downfall that left many without jobs, and the Mill property vacant.
