What is the history of GROTH Design Group and your Cedarburg location?
“GROTH Design Group focuses on serving the needs of faith-based and nonprofit organizations. The firm established its first home in the historic Cedarburg Mill in 1997 with just six employees. This Cedarburg location remains the firm’s home base. In our 30 years, GDG has grown to a staff of 40 talented architects, planners, interior designers, marketing and support staff professionals and has established additional office locations in Milwaukee and Appleton. This year, GDG also underwent an exciting and bittersweet ownership transition from Mike Groth to long-standing management team members, and now partners, Peter Schneider, Peter Damsgaard and Mike McGraw.”
