\"\"The City of Jamestown has announced that funding has been secured for the full build-out of the Riverwalk Skatepark<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mayor Eddie Sundquist<\/strong> announced an additional $480-thousand dollars in Urban Development Action Grant<\/strong> monies has been approved by the City to build the proposed second phase of the poured-concrete park, “It’s a 10,000 square foot park. And it will really be an incredible destination for people to come in and use our skatepark. It’s been a priority project with a significant amount of funding that we’ve received. And instead of waiting years to go forward with the second phase, we are excited to completely fund the skatepark here.”<\/p>\n

Funding for the project includes $250,000 from The Skatepark Project<\/strong> and Ralph C. Wilson Junior Foundation<\/strong> and an additional $50,000 from the Built-To-Play initiative under the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation for environmental impact features. The City of Jamestown matched the initial $250,000 using a combination of Community Development Block Grant monies, UDAG funds, as well as $10,000 from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation<\/strong>, and over $43,000 raised by SK8 JTNY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Grindline Skateparks has been contracted to do the build, which city officials estimate will begin in August. The project is expected to be completed by this Fall with a grand opening held in Spring 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
