Local projects share latest windfarm windfall cash

A Langholm-based business, aimed at boosting our local textile industry, is to share in a £76,000 windfarm pay-out.

Creation Mill is one of five projects which will benefit from the community benefit fund set up by Solwaybank windfarm and the Dumfriesshire East Community Benefit Group (DECBG).

The financial boost will enable Creation Mill to fund a two-year project manager post to promote textile skills workshops. A website promoting walking routes in the Langholm area will also benefit from the grants, which range from £2,000 to £36,000.
