Opening a fine dining restaurant in downtown Houlton and also continuing my profession as a consultant has been possible because of this community. The risk in starting a business, or taking over an existing business, is lower here than anywhere else we’ve been. For us, moving to the Houlton area meant working to live, rather than living to work. We’ve never looked back! - Kristen Wells
