QUINCY — A new Navy contract could give Quincy's high-tech defense sector a boost, Quincy Patch reported Monday, while a separate Patch item raised questions about whether the city could lose the funding advantages tied to its status as a state-designated Gateway City. Quincy Public Library, meanwhile, filled Monday's calendar with five family and community programs.
