Description About: The Jamestown Interpretative Map Mural project is intended to enhance public art in the City of Jamestown while uplifting Chautauqua County Department of Planning and Development’s ongoing economic development efforts. Public artwork is an essential building block in economic development and quality of place, and this project will bring one large mural to the City of Jamestown's Chadakoin Basin area — providing another asset to our walkable, pedestrian-friendly downtown. This mural will help attract visitors, locals, and tourists!

In partnership with local community members, it is Jamestown's goal to expand large-scale murals across the city. The goals and purpose of this type of artwork implementation include highlighting community assets, embracing the value of public art investment, bringing visitors to our community, encouraging economic growth, building a foundation for more public art investment, and improving quality of place.

This map mural concept will build on the quality of place efforts accelerated by the Chautauqua County Department of Planning and Development, growing regional pride and garnering significant attention and exposure nationally.
