"Lindsey Dotson helped our business transform from a tent at the farmers market into a 3,122-square-foot bakery, café and coffee bar. Her resourcefulness, encouragement, and guidance have enabled us to do more.”

“I look to Lindsey as a cornerstone of my business. The opportunities offered, including grant opportunities, meetings, and seminars, are amazing. Even when all you need is someone to bounce an idea off, Lindsey Dotson is willing to help.”
Leanne A.
Lindsey's love of community is so apparent in her work. The façade grant money that several businesses have taken advantage of has truly made our town more beautiful. I also believe that she's had a hand in the downtown businesses working together as a team and supporting each other. I love to hear that support when I talk to them individually."
