“Michele was an absolute lifesaver to me and our Downtown Revitalization public art placemaking grant. Her keep calm and carry on demeanor alone made her such a joy to work with. She helped me navigate and successfully complete contract, reporting, and accounting tasks with ease and professionalism. Cherry on top, she is NYS WBE certified, so her administrative fee helped me reach my grant goal! I highly recommend working with Templeton.”
— Jesse Kline, Executive Director, Auburn Downtown Business Improvements District

“It truly takes a Village to make a project like the Ithaca Farmers Market site improvements project a reality. Michele was instrumental to its success, and her patience and professionalism are so appreciated.”
— Jan Rhodes Norman, President of the Ithaca Farmers Market and owner of Silk Oak Ithaca
