Mayor's Letter

Quincy is committed to economic development, and we are eager to help you make our community your choice to locate your business. As Mayor, I believe local government can be instrumental in setting the stage for economic investment, as well as in establishing a platform that ensures future development incorporates sustainable development principles that value the cultural and historical assets we are proud to have in our community. We are committed to the continued beautification of our city. Our $10 million park and open space improvement plan, our new 27-hole championship golf course at Quarry Hills, our $5 million road improvement project, our investment in the Quincy Center Concourse transportation boulevard, our $7 million renovation of Wollaston Beach and our daily commitment to improve the quality of life in the city makes Quincy a wonderful place to live and do business. Today, we are in the beginning stages of an expansive redevelopment program for our downtown, a plan that infuses $1 billion of new investment into our city, provides thousands of new jobs, and the new growth that will continue to make Quincy one of the most stable and prosperous communities in Greater Boston. The city is proud to offer a skilled work force, extensive transportation networks, a variety of goods and services, an abundance of recreational opportunities, and an expanding tourism industry. Whether you are considering establishing or relocating a retail, professional or industrial business, Quincy has the support systems to help you grow and prosper. I encourage you to visit our city and become a part of an exciting and dynamic era that is making Quincy a premier choice to live, work, learn, and invest in. Thomas Koch Mayor, City of Quincy
