JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown City Council held a special voting session late Monday afternoon to act on a resolution that would accept the role of the city as lead agency for the environmental impact study for the Tracy Plaza renovation project at City Hall.
The special action was preceded by the council rescinding a resolution from earlier this year, dealing with the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) for the second phase of the renovation project, which total $2.4 million. Much of the funding for the project comes from a $1.5 million New York State green innovation grant, with the rest of the funding coming out of a $3 million bond initiative approved in 2015.
The redesign work for Tracy Plaza will go toward adding more landscaping to make the structure more environmentally friendly, more energy efficient and aesthetically pleasing. Work on the plaza is expected to begin next month.
