Quincy Quarry Weekly Fish Wrap: Laboring over the Labor Day Holiday?

While the unofficial end of summer ends on Labor Day Monday, workers have been working feverishly at least six days a week to perhaps see Hancock/Adams Common (but better known to Quincy Quarry’s ever-growing legions of loyal readers as Kim Jong Joch Plaza, ed.) close enough to finished for its formal dedication a week from this coming Saturday.

Large number of workers working notwithstanding, Quincy Quarry’s expert construction advisors are all of a mind that achieving sufficient timely completion will likely require workers to work overtime over the long Labor Day Holiday weekend.

In the meanwhile, already two new trees on Kim Jong Koch Plaza have bought the ranch as well as who only knows how many more trees will follow between now and – say – Arbor Day 2019.

And of even more pressing as well as actually useful needs, will the also ongoing repaving of the driveway and parking lots at an otherwise access-restricted local grammar school be “sufficiently” completed before the start of a new school year next Wednesday? 

That and will CORI checks of workers be undertaken in case work on this paving project carries over into the new school year?

Speaking of hot doings, the heat has to be heating up on the ploddingly slow redevelopment of “A New Quincy Center” what with the City of Worcester apparently seeing more than sufficient new redevelopment interest within days of its announcing that it had enticed the PawSox to relocate to a brand new ballpark in Wusta.

Will Quincy Mayor Koch in turn now jump on this bandwagon so as to jump start things for Quincy Center with an unsolicited copycat solicitation of the Red Sox’s Double A Portland Sea Dogs minor league team to move to the Q?

Needless to say, count on the Quincy Quarry Sports Desk to opine its thoughts on how such a bid might be cobbled together.

That and roll out exposés and breaking badly bad news© in the coming days and weeks about all sorts of matters which the Quarry knows are looking to soon be hitting the fan.

As such, one would be well-advised to put on a raincoat.
