Building of Scotland's Mountain Bike Innovation Center gets underway in the Tweed Valley ahead of the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships
Scotland is set to become home to a world-first Mountain Bike Innovation Centre in a government funded project to build a thriving industry around mountain biking in the Scottish Borders. Developing Mountain Biking Scotland , an organisation heavily involved in making the case for the Innovation Center says,
The UK Government is investing £19 million into the project. This is part of its £265 million investment in the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal, along with the Scottish Government investment of £85 million in the Deal. The Innovation Centre is predicted to contribute £141 million in Gross Value Added and create over 400 jobs in the South of Scotland over ten years.
SOSE completed the purchase of The Caerlee Mill site last year and have been working hard with partners to secure planning permission for the change of use and building renovation. In addition, the renovation of the listed Caerlee Mill for commercial use will help preserve an important building for the local community and for Scotland’s industrial heritage.A target for the South of Scotland is to become mountain biking’s European capital, with Glentress Forest being one of the hosts for 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships this summer.
