Chadakoin Activation Strategy

Jamestown, New York

Supported by the Chautauqua County Partnership for Economic Growth and the Gebbie Foundation, The Harrison Studio co-authored a strategic plan for the reactivation and future use of the Chadakoin River and Basin in downtown Jamestown, NY. The initiative sought to build on a variety of projects underway that address public access and use of the Chadakoin River, and envisioned enhanced navigability to the Basin area as a stimulus for increased economic activity throughout the city’s downtown. The Chadakoin Activation Strategy provides activities and recommendations that address economic development, recreation, entertainment, education, tourism, and the environment in a comprehensive manner, with the goal of maximizing visitation in the River Corridor and Basin areas.
