Barony’s Dairy Nexus is a Borderlands first

 
 
Dairy Nexus is one of the first Scottish projects to be delivered through the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal
 

The multi-million-pound Dairy Nexus project at the Barony campus will be officially opened this month.

The scheme has been set up with funding of up to £8m from the UK and Scottish Governments and £738,000 from South of Scotland Enterprise and is one of the first Scottish projects to be delivered through the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal.

With four major processors and around 50 artisan producers employing 1,350 people and adding value to milk collected from some 980 farms across the region, the dairy industry is regarded as an important part of the Borderlands’ economy.
