That was the announcement made on Thursday by the new owners of Raceview Mill to coincide with it’s official opening by DETI Minister, Arlene Foster.

Sited on over 15 acres, the old woollen mill was destined for demolition when it was purchased in 2013 by local artist and landscape photographer Roy McKeown who, in the short time since, has turned the premises into a rural base for small businesses and the creative arts.
