Quincy Mayor discusses data center development and zoning

Big projects, big money - and even bigger questions! On this week’s Minutes with the Mayor, brought to you by Mercantile Bank, Bob Gough sits down with Quincy Mayor Linda Moore to tackle two of the community’s hottest topics: data centers and solar panels. With the county potentially looking at more than $30 million in revenue from a data center, could Quincy prosper - or will residents be asked to sacrifice too much? Mayor Moore breaks down the pros and cons, explains why location matters, and shares her vision for establishing clear boundaries while keeping local control. Then, the conversation turns to solar energy. What role should municipalities play in zoning solar developments? What benefits could they bring, and how might the local bee industry benefit? Mayor Moore shares her perspective and explains why input from a Quincy solar expert could help guide the community’s next steps. Get the details, hear the debate, and join the conversation on this week’s Minutes with the Mayor, brought to you by Mercantile Bank.
