A flour mill on the banks of the Patapsco River across from old Ellicott City, where milling stretches back more than two centuries, is slated to shut down early next year.
The Wilkins Rogers Mills facility in Oella is the last operating commercial mill in the state, but Wilkins-Rogers Inc. plans to relocate to a spot in the Midwest, according to Baltimore County officials who have been in contact with the company.
Wilkins-Rogers has run the Frederick Road mill since 1969 and employs 30 people there. Mill officials, including the company’s chief operating officer, did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
