Greater Annapolis Design District (GADD) Members Aspect Contracting, Design Solutions, HD Squared Architects, and Mueller Homes received editorial inclusion in the 3rd Annual Home Excellence Awards feature in the February issues of What’s Up? Annapolis and What’s Up? Eastern Shore.

February Happy Hour & Networking

GADD members enjoyed themselves at the February 6th Monthly Happy Hour & Networking event held at GameOn bar+arcade Annapolis. Several potential new members were also in attendance!
