“I am so happy that I took the time to come to the EDC’s event today. I am so grateful to the EDC for putting on this type of forum. It is so needed,” said Claretta Rideout, owner and CEO of DeQuan’s Construction, LLC. “Having the opportunity to meet one-on-one with integral people who are really interested in helping us win contracts, provides us with an opportunity to grow. As an out of the area company, we learned how we can be successful moving into the area. As a construction management team growing for 17 years in Baltimore, we are excited about expanding to Prince George’s County and creating new jobs.”
