JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown Planning Commission<\/strong> is meeting Tuesday in city hall and will continue its review of site plans for the proposed Gateway Lofts <\/strong>project.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting comes just one week after a public hearing was held<\/a> focusing on the project and with more than 80 people in attendance.<\/p>\n

The Planning Commission meeting is required to review site plans for the $31 million project and act on any permits needed to allow the project to move forward.<\/p>\n

The Gateway Lofts project is an effort by Southern Tier Environments for Living<\/strong> (STEL), Community Helping Hands<\/strong> and the YWCA of Jamestown<\/strong> to provide 80 single and multi-family housing units in the upper floors of the Gateway Center<\/strong> on Water St.<\/p>\n

Of these units, 39 would offer affordable housing options for low income residents, 16 would go to single-parent families assisted by the YWCA, and 25 units would be administered by STEL and designated for non-violent individuals who are homeless and have a serious mental illness or a substance use disorder \u2013 with a history of criminal offending or are at risk of offending.<\/p>\n

The Gateway Center is the former Chautauqua Hardware<\/strong> furniture manufacturing company and part of the project would also include environmental remediation. It currently houses several service agencies including the Mental Health Association<\/strong>, Community Helping Hands<\/strong> and the St. Susan Center<\/strong> \u2013 which developers and supporter say make it an ideal location for the development project.<\/p>\n

During last week\u2019s hearing several questions from the public were asked about the project, including safety and environmental concerns as well as the large price tag associated with renovating the building.<\/p>\n

Representatives for the project offered their responses during the hearing and now it\u2019s up to the planning commission to determine if the project should proceed or if other issues still need to be addressed.<\/p>\n

According to the developers, support for the project has been given by several local officials, including: Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/strong>, Sen. Catherine Young<\/strong>, Assemblyman Andrew Goodell<\/strong>, County Executive George Borrello<\/strong>, Deputy County Executive for Economic Development and IDA director Mark Geise<\/strong>, Sheriff Joseph Gerace<\/strong>, county Health and Human Services Director Christine Schuyler<\/strong>, and the Homeless Coalition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s planning commission meeting begins at 3:30 p.m. on the 4th<\/sup> floor of city hall in the mayors conference room and is open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
