Elements incorporated into the design are meant to honor Jamestown New York’s rich history while simultaneously looking towards future growth and development. The unique design incorporates wood from the oak trees that grew on Third Street, steel girders salvaged from a decommissioned train overpass and bricks retired from the city’s streets, together representing the City growing on the banks of the Chadakoin River.
The North Main Street Welcome Sign was designated as the Rotary Club of Jamestown’s Centennial Project in 2020. It is a worthy symbol of the Rotary Club’s 100 years supporting the local community and the world.
The planning commission voted to recommend the project to the City Council and now the City Council will need to approve the project before it can move forward. Hopeful that all necessary approvals will be obtained early in 2022, organizers are targeting summer 2022 for project completion.
