JAMESTOWN – Construction will begin this month on an expansion of the Northwest Arena.

According to the Post-Journal, the project will cost an estimated $4.5 million and comes from grant commitments provided by both the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and the Gebbie Foundation.

The project will involve developing an entrance to the arena from Second Street, across from the National Comedy Center. New office space will also be added, along with additional retail and added exhibit space for the National Comedy Center. The project will be completed by next summer.
