Riverfront Development

Riverfront Development February 4, 2021

Adopted in March 2018 by the City Council, the Quincy Next Strategic Plan provides the community with a central focus to guide our decisions and investments over the next generation. Ten core initiatives are included in the plan and represent the culmination of the planning process – the months of understanding Quincy’s present state and future opportunities.

Riverfront development consistently ranked at the top of the ten core initiatives based on community input and surveys. Through the riverfront master planning process, we will formulate an appropriately-scaled, comprehensive strategy for developing the riverfront area which includes short, mid, and long-term projects that encourage private development.
