JAMESTOWN – A downtown building that saw a partial collapse last month leading to an emergency demolition will be completely raised on Friday, Nov. 4.

Jamestown Public Works Director Jeff Lehman says the building at 10-12 E. Second Street is scheduled for demolition today and as a result, the Contractor will restrict traffic. He adds that at times, workers from H.H. Raugh Construction may need to close the portion of E. Second Street between N. Main Street and Pine Street.

Motorists will experience delays when traveling through the project area and may wish to use alternate routes of travel.

Cost of the demolition is being covered by funding from the New York State Attorney General’s Office that was secured by the Chautauqua County Land Bank.
