This week, In Focus takes a look at the importance of investing in downtown development projects in Upstate New York cities — from strategies for bringing people in from the suburbs to plans for building infrastructure to get more tourist revenue flowing. JoDee Kenney begins the conversation in Western New York with Jamestown Mayor Eddie Sundquist. He discusses his plans to build on the downtown development initiatives that were begun by his predecessor, and his priorities for the city. Mayor Sundquist also discusses the unique features that Jamestown has, including its waterfront and famed comedy center, and how the city is working to take advantage of them — as well as his long-term goals for his city.
