Chadakoin Riverfront Revitalization
Whether experienced from the water or from land, the Chadakoin River offers a peaceful setting and a rich ecological environment. The Chadakoin River Strategic Business Plan presents strategies for leveraging recreational, entertainment, and commercial activity that will draw residents and visitors to the river.
An Inviting Downtown
The character and cohesiveness of downtown is fundamental to the future of Jamestown and its impact on the region. Guided by the Urban Design Plan 2.0, we’re working to restore the historic downtown core into a safe, walkable, and attractive center for business and retail.
Gathering Places that Engage the Community
Partnering with the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation and the Jamestown Chamber of Commerce, we’re helping to expand programs and events that draw people downtown, including family activities that appeal to residents, downtown workers, and visitors.
Through strategic grants and investments, the Gebbie Foundation has spearheaded projects that have left an indelible mark on the economic, social, and cultural landscape of the City of Jamestown and Chautauqua County.
