The History Of Lindsey's

Newnan native Lindsey Hand Barron founded Lindsey's, Inc. in 1948 when he purchased the Austin Appliance Company, holding the Westinghouse Appliance franchise in Newnan.  The R.E.A. was just coming into Coweta County, so many people had no electricity, appliances, well pumps or wiring.  The demand was great, and the supply of goods and electrical contractors was limited due to World War II.   Lindsey Barron's timing was good.

Industrial Real Estate Update – Orchard Hills & More

One of the largest projects is the development where Orchard Hills is on Hwy 16, near Gordon Rd. This property was once Orchard Hills Golf Course. I learned to play golf at Orchard Hills and have many fond memories out there. That being said, this development is great for jobs and will have a huge economic impact on Coweta.

According to the Orchard Hills Business Park website, they have developed over 2,000 acres of major office, industrial and business park properties. The Orchard Hills development will take place on 281 acres. The site plan can be accessed on their website (orchardhillsbusinesspark.com). The plan includes a 1,000,000 square foot sq ft bu...
