WGEM · last updated

QUINCY (WGEM) — Quincy’s Planning Commission recommended denial for a proposed solar farm Tuesday night.

The commission heard the request from a Boston-based solar company for a special permit to be granted for a solar facility at 36th Street and Payson Road.

The presentation from the Boston, Massachusetts, developer took more than hour.

Commission member Dan Brink motioned to recommend denial, citing a past city ordinance barring solar development in non-industrial zone properties.

It now goes to the Quincy City Council for a vote.
