JAMESTOWN – The first public meeting to address the City of Jamestown Chadakoin River Revitalization Study will be held in the auditorium of the Robert H. Jackson Center this evening, starting at 7 p.m. The Chadakoin River Revitalization Study is a 16-month planning effort focused on opportunities for economic development and community recreation along the Jamestown riverfront.
The City of Jamestown was recently awarded three NY State planning grants targeted at the Chadakoin River and the properties near the River. These grants include two Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) studies and a Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) study. To make the most effective and efficient use of the grant funds, the City elected to merge the separate studies into one project.
As part of this important planning project, the City will be seeking community input at various times during the project, starting with tonight’s meeting. Anyone wishing to learn more about the study and also offer input is invited to attend the meeting. It will begin at 7 p.m. and continue until 9 p.m. and is open to the public.
