Project Pipeline Wall

As part of our first-ever Contractor Summit on September 24th, we're building a Project Pipeline Wall — a live display showcasing upcoming construction, renovation, expansion, and infrastructure projects across Queen Anne's County.

We'd love to feature any projects you have planned for 2026–2028. This is a great way to get your project in front of local contractors, subcontractors, and trades professionals who'll be in the room looking for their next opportunity.

If you have a project you'd like to include, email Tracy Wilson at tracy@qacchamber.com with a brief summary, and we'll get it up on the Wall.

Let's give our contractor community a real look at what's coming next in Queen Anne's County!
