Planning & Development

In Quincy, city planning is focused on fostering growth while preserving the livability, attractiveness, and welcoming nature of our neighborhoods for both residents and visitors.

Our planning efforts began in 1946 with Quincy’s first master plan. Over time, the City shifted from relying on outside consultants to building an in-house planning and development team, enabling more community-driven decision-making.

The Planning and Development Department is committed to balancing growth with open space, ensuring Quincy remains a comfortable, healthy, and attractive place to live and visit.
