Quincy's commercial property is growing again. The new ramp from Thomas Burgin Parkway and the Crown Colony Office Park is under construction and should relieve some of the traffic congestion in the Centre Street area.
The City has been rezoning some parcels of land off Burgin Parkway to allow construction of a new Lowe's, which is going to be built off Burgin Parkway behind the new ramp.
Also, now that the ramp is moving along, BJ's has filed an application to build a new store in front of the Crown Colony Office Park on land presently owned by the Patriot Ledger.
Stop & Shop Companies which are headquartered in Quincy have plans to build another office building in close proximity to their current building, and I am hearing they will join the two buildings with a sky bridge.
The site of the former Ritz Motel, long an eyesore in the City of Quincy is being proposed for an Extended Stay for Corporate Employees. The site is located on Hancock Street, just minutes to Route 93 and the State Street complex on Newport Ave.
These projects are signs that Quincy is going to continue to grow.

Quincy's Skyline Is About To Change!
The Big Goliath crane at the former Fore River Shipyard has finally been sold and will be disappearing from Quincy's skyline shortly. The crane has been visible from not only parts of Quincy, but many areas throughout the South Shore.
The shipyard has been closed for many years and the current owner has been trying to find a buyer for the crane. The crane was purchased and will be dismantled in the near future and shipped to a shipyard in Romania.
There are plans by the current owner to develop the shipyard into residential and retail space similar to Marina Bay in Quincy. The former shipyard site is located right on the Fore River.
The project has not begun yet and is still a few years away from being revived.

New Zoning and Building Requirements on the Way?
Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch has named a citizen's task force to look at Quincy,s zoning and building regulations. In the past, there have been a large number of new Townhouse developments being built and changing the makeup of the neighborhoods. About a year ago, the City Council imposed a one year moratorium on any projects over two units within the Residential B zoning. This put a halt to the construction of such properties and now the City is looking at ways to put some permanent measures in place to protect the neighborhoods. The task force will be comprised of both professionals in the field and neighborhood residents and will take a hard look at the current zoning and building laws and reccomend changes they feel will benefit Quincy both now, and in the future.
