How Quincy Jones inspired a project to revitalize downtown Bremerton

Bremerton formally broke ground Monday on a four-block-long festival street inspired by and named for Quincy Jones.

The Martin Luther King Day event outside the Roxy Theatre came two months after Jones died.

The project vision for Quincy Square on 4th, according to the city, is "to revitalize a long-neglected street into an active, housing-based, day-to-night urban center with focused arts, entertainment, and evening-centric retail spaces."

It was a fitting day to honor the legacy of Quincy Delight Jones Jr., who moved to Bremerton when he was around 10. His family settled in Sinclair Park, a since-demolished segregated community, where Jones' father worked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
