Even though the city of Jamestown has not received a large state grant for building improvements along East Second Street, building owners and city officials are still considering renovations.
Crystal Surdyk, the city’s development manager, told the Post-Journal that city officials did not receive the New York State Main Street grant of up to $ 500,000 that was reportedly used to improve the East Second Street corridor between Main and Institute streets and First Secondes streets. She said that even though the city did not receive the grant, officials and owners of buildings along East Second Street continue to seek improvements to the buildings.
“We are looking at other opportunities that make sense for this area. We work with individual owners with smaller grant opportunities â€, she said “We’re always focused on getting something done in this area. It is an important corridor. It is a priority for us to see this rearranged.
One such example, according to Surdyk, is the Jamestown Renaissance Corp., which provided funding to John Bonhomme of SodaCovaGroup LLC. for renovations at 212-218 E. Second St. Also, Christian Good through 3644 Holdings LLC. makes improvements to 298-300 East Second St. and 220-226 E. Second St.
Good told the Post-Journal that he has completed renovations to three apartments at 298-300 E. Second St. and that work will begin soon to renovate at least eight apartments and two storefronts at 220-226 E. Second. St.

“We receive quotes from the electrician and the plumber” Well said about the renovations to 220-226 E. Second Street. “We hope to have it completed by the end of the year. “
Good said three churches and a clay pottery workshop reviewed commercial space at 220-226 E. Second St. He said the only commercial space is in “not too badly in shape” renovations should therefore not be long in coming.
“The city has been cooperative and helpful. We are also looking for other investments in the region â€, he said. “Things are going well with COVID. “
