Historic Windmill Gets $50,000 State Grant for Restoration
The state of Massachusetts has recently approved a $50,000 grant for the restoration of the historic Brimfield windmill. The funding comes from a grant program included in the 2013 fiscal account for Central and Western Massachusetts' projects.
