Windham Company Begins Exporting
A growing Windham company that makes treats allergy sufferers can is branching out in Canada with some state help promoting exports.
The $500 grant may seem small, but the founder and owner of HomeFree expects it could make a big difference in the bottom line. “We used it to help pay to do a trade show in Canada,” Jill Robbins said.
Windham Business Receives State Grant to Expand Exports
How would you like $500 to help export your company's agricultural products? The federal grant could go toward a plane ticket, a phone bill, overseas advertising or translation services.
And it’s for any agricultural products -- not just food. That could includes items like cosmetics or similar products that are agriculturally based.

Town of Windham Launches Adopt A Spot Program
The Town of Windham Community Development Department is launching its first Adopt-A-Spot Program. The intent of this program is to provide businesses, volunteer groups, not-for-profits and residents, an opportunity to help improve designated areas of Town that could benefit from some love, care and attention. This will be accomplished by removing litter and adding some new colorful flowers to the sites, thus improving appearance of these areas in Town. Participants will be responsible for maintaining their spots through the month of September. So far, 35 sites have been identified for the 2013 season and are waiting adoption.
Those who are interested in participating in the Adopt-A-Spot program must sign-up by Saturday, June 1, 2013 to adopt your spot. The information to adopt a sport can be found on the Town of Windham’s website at www.windhamnewhampshire.com under “What’s New”, at the Community Development Department (3 North Lowell Road) or by contacting Lisa Ferrisi at lferrisi@windhamnewhampshire.com. Participation in the Program is FREE!
