Coming Up on Quincy Current
Stories We’re Working On
Some stories take more than a press release or a quick interview. They require research, time in the community, conversations with the people involved and a closer look at the issues shaping Quincy.
Here are a few of the stories currently being developed by the Quincy Current newsroom.
Not in My Backyard…But what about Under Your Feet?
Hidden beneath the bluffs along the Mississippi River is one of Quincy’s most unusual assets: a massive former limestone mine already used for underground storage.
Quincy Current is examining whether the facility’s naturally protected underground environment, central location and surrounding property could make Quincy a serious contender in America’s rapidly expanding data-center industry — and what such a development could mean for jobs, infrastructure, energy and the future of the city.
Embedded With Quincy’s Homeless
Who is living on the streets of Quincy, and how did they get there?
In an upcoming multipart series, Quincy Current will take readers beyond statistics and public debate to hear directly from people experiencing homelessness, visit places where they are living and examine the organizations, policies and circumstances surrounding one of the community’s most difficult issues.
What’s Coming Next to Quincy?
Construction signs, vacant storefronts and quiet redevelopment projects often begin long before the public knows what is coming.
Quincy Current is following new businesses, proposed developments, downtown projects and other changes taking shape throughout the city — and working to find out what they could mean for Quincy.
