Downtown Jamestown

The Post-Journal ran a recent article on some of the proposed developments, and their hurdles, in downtown Jamestown.

I'd prefer a little more investigation and fact behind the article, but then again, it is the P-J. Left out of this article is a mention of the deteriorating condition of some properties, especially the 3rd/Cherry building mentioned, and the lack of maintenance and upkeep. Property seems to be treated like stocks around here--dump in some money and let it sit until it turns a profit--regardless of the necessary steps to keep the area from being an eyesore.
