The Quincy City Council has denied a special permit for a proposed solar facility near 36th and Payson Road. The vote marks the second time the council has rejected the project, according to the available information.
The summary of the decision does not identify when the vote took place or provide the council’s reasoning. It also does not name the project’s applicant or developer, describe the facility’s proposed size, or explain what the special permit would have allowed.
No details were provided about the earlier rejection, including when it occurred or whether the proposal changed between the two council decisions. The information also does not specify how the vote was divided or whether any council members commented on the matter.
The council’s latest action means the special permit request was not approved. The available account does not say whether the applicant can submit a revised proposal, pursue another approval process, or take any further steps. It also does not indicate whether additional council action is expected.
With those details unavailable, the confirmed information is limited to the council’s decision, the proposed facility’s location near 36th and Payson Road, and the fact that this was the project’s second rejection by the council.
