\"\"Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist<\/strong> wants to “think big for the future of Jamestown” in his annual State of the City<\/strong> Address.<\/p>\n

Sundquist said he wants to shape a new vision for Jamestown as “a modern city with strong roots.”<\/p>\n

His goals include a “Vision Zero Campaign”<\/strong> to have zero fatalities or severe injuries from traffic accidents. Sundquist said the city has applied for a “safe routes to school” grant funding from the state department of transportation to help toward that campaign.<\/p>\n

Sundquist also listed connecting and enhancing the waterfront of the Chadakoin River<\/strong>. Projects underway include the clean up of the lower Chadakoin River as well as grant funding received for development of the Chadakoin basin.<\/p>\n

Another goal is to market Jamestown as a destination. Sundquist said he could see Jamestown becoming a hub for conventions. He also wants to use $5 million of American Rescue Plan<\/strong> funds toward healthy neighborhoods and housing initiatives.<\/p>\n

He said the City administration has taken an aggressive approach toward supporting cannabis<\/strong>-related industries in the city. Sundquist said hundreds of jobs could be added and that new businesses have “already bought millions of dollars\u2019 worth of unused property to redevelop thousands of square feet of currently vacant and underutilized warehouse, manufacturing, and commercial spaces.” He said with properties going back on the tax roll, the local property tax burden will be reduced.<\/p>\n

Sundquist said he’s working with the county to secure a permanent location for CARTS<\/strong> in downtown Jamestown and that he’s continuing to work with county officials to restore commercial passenger air service to the Jamestown airport<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sundquist said the joint municipal broadband feasibility study<\/strong> has been completed. He said the next step is to create an ad hoc committee that will go over the study, speak with experts, and determine a path forward.<\/p>\n
