JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown Planning Commission<\/strong> has set a date and time for a public hearing involving the proposed $34 million Gateway Lofts<\/strong><\/a> project.<\/p>\n

The hearing was agreed to following the Sept. 18 Planning Commission meeting<\/a>, when members felt more details of the project need to be provided and all concerns heard before any commission action takes place.<\/p>\n

The housing development at the Gateway Center<\/strong> building on Water Street in the city is being proposed by Southern Tier Environments for Living<\/strong> (STEL) and Community Helping Hands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The development is described as a multifamily, affordable housing project that would include 70 housing units over three stories of the Gateway Center building, which was formerly the long-time home of the now closed Chautauqua Hardware manufacturing business and currently houses several local organizations, including St. Susan Center<\/strong>, Community Helping Hands<\/strong>, Love Inc.<\/strong>, and the Mental Health Association of Chautauqua County<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of these units, 39 would offer affordable housing options, 16 would go to single-parent families assisted by the YWCA<\/strong>, and 25 units administered by STEL would be designated for non-violent individuals who are homeless and have a serious mental illness or a substance use disorder with a history of criminal offending or are at risk of offending.<\/p>\n
