LEADER boost for Scottish Borders projects

After a successful Local Action Group (LAG) assessment meeting on Tuesday 24 January when eight further project applications were approved, Scottish Borders LEADER have now committed to funding totalling £705,000. 

So far Scottish Borders LEADER LAG have awarded grants to 15 projects:

• ten community
• three rural business
• two farm diversification projects

With a full pipeline of really interesting projects to come, we are looking forward to helping rural organisations throughout the Scottish Borders to deliver their exciting ideas and make a real difference to our continued economic development.
