Demolition begins for downtown Tampa's Ardent Mills location

In the heart of downtown Tampa, just blocks from the Florida Aquarium and Amalie Arena sits Ardent Mills Tampa Mill. The facility is permanently closed. Sandwiched between Nebraska Ave and Meridian Ave, the 1938 mill will be demolished starting Friday. The goal of the mill's demolition is to reconnect the neighborhoods surrounding it. The facility currently blocks off four blocks of Channelside to downtown Tampa.
