<\/a>Jamestown Urban Renewal Agency board meeting (March 14, 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n
The Jamestown Urban Renewal Agency<\/strong> board<\/strong> received a report on accomplishments for 2022.<\/p>\nDirector of Development Crystal Surdyk<\/strong> presented to the JURA board on the list.<\/p>\nShe said there were 1,125 code enforcement<\/strong> and zoning inspections done in 2022 and 327 permits issued. Total fees generated by the department were in the amount of $25,848.<\/p>\nSurdyk said there are three Code Enforcement Officers<\/strong> in the department, “That’s 375 inspections per person for the year. And so, that takes out weekends, although frankly they’re on call 24-7, so it used to be that there may be one, maybe two a week. It’s more like four, five (inspections).”<\/p>\nSurdyk said the total value in permitted improvements is $2,331,561, “That’s way up from the last three years, which is great. It’s a sign of development coming back. Things are moving. Things are happening again which is exactly what we want to see.”<\/p>\n
Surdyk said, in 2022, $1.118 million in Community Development Block Grant<\/strong> monies assisted 25 projects with $214,538 of HOME funds assisting 5 properties.<\/p>\nShe said $194,000 \u00a0funding also was allocated toward two Code Blue emergency shelter<\/strong>s.<\/p>\nSurdyk added that $3.3 million was received for ten separate awards, including funding for the Chadakoin River Basin Activation<\/strong> plan as well as funding for the Comprehensive Plan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jamestown Urban Renewal Agency board received a report on accomplishments for 2022.
