Mayor Koch’s plans to build Koch Stadium, née Teel Field, at his terminal alma mater North Quincy High School has suffered a major setback.
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (“MassDEP”) has ordered the City of Quincy to redo its deeply flawed Notice of Intent approval by the local Conservation Commission.
The Koch Maladministration had been hoping that MassDEP would allow a but amended approval, but this grift was rejected.
Mayor annoyed, annoying — whatever

At minimum, MassDEP’s ruling will delay the restart of the approval process by roughly two months to duly reschedule a new hearing before the Conservation Commission.
Additionally, even if the Koch Maladministration does fully correct its flawed application to the Conservation Commission and a new application is then approved, winter weather will surely further delay an already delayed and variously flawed project.
Further, MassDEP has expressed concerns about the storm water management plans for the project and such could further both delay the project for many more months as well as increase its cost.
In short, a shovel has yet to go into the ground on this latest grandiose but ill-executed plan by Mayor and it is already running late as per standard Koch Maladministration malpractice. Only time will tell if the also typical cost overruns will follow.
Expect more hard-hitting coverage by the Quincy Quarry on this latest of that many poorly managed initiations by the Koch Maladministration as additional information might become available.
Looks like Mayor Koch’s plans for ‘auto-edification’ has been choked off for now. At least there is no evidence of Child Porn involved. Yet.
Since the Koch Administration is throwing Quincy Taxpayers to the lions, I guess Tommy just wants a monument to them.
The ironic part is if Koch could throw taxpayers to the lions, the taxpayers would be paying for those lions.
It’s Koch’s world and we just pay for it!
If Koch did have lions, we’d be overpaying for them.
Of additional interest is the subject matter of the one household that will not sell to the city. Lord Blue vows to “build around” said homeowner. Now, I’ve seen some terrible architecture in my day, but how thoroughly insipid will this end up looking ?
Jaded,
Speaking of insipid, have you seen the plans for Kim Jong Koch Plaza, née Adams Green?
Fortunately, so far this proposed grandiose and way over the top monstrosity has yet to be provided with any of the needed and variously contingent state funding, much less the upwards of as much as $30 million cost noted by Mayor Koch.
