Quincy PCD

The City of Quincy, MA Department of Planning and Community Development (PCD) designs and delivers workshops/events to support the work of our Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) recipients, while providing an opportunity to engage region-wide social impact leaders in an information exchange. 

Organizations acting in silos struggle to reach social impact solutions on their own. The City of Quincy Planning Department Annual Community Development Symposium offers support for networking, collaborating, and capacity building so that professionals are empowered to achieve organizational vision with peers, partnership opportunities, knowledge and skills.
