Addison Team Pays Visit to Addison Airport-based AQRD

Mayor Joe Chow led a staff delegation from the Town of Addison on a visit to Aerospace Quality Research & Development’s (AQRD) headquarters at Addison Airport on Wednesday, March 8. Representatives from Addison included City Manager David Gaines, Airport Deputy Director Darci Neuzil, Economic Development & Tourism Director Orlando Campos, and Economic Development Manager Lauren Williams. The mayor and staff met with the board of AQRD including CEO Raj Narayanan, CFO Scott Bedgood, and US Air Force Major General Tommy Williams. 

AQRD is a full-capability aerospace engineering firm. The company is a Federal Aviation Administration-designated engineering representative, a Part 145 repair station, and a retrofit, production, and modification (RPM) station. The company has more than doubled its space at Addison Airport within the last year and has additional expansion plans. As AQRD has grown, they have recruited quite a bit of highly educated talent, and being in Addison has helped with this effort. Addison looks forward to being part of their growing success in our community.
