Park and outdoor access in Jamestown was rated high. Other assets included: the reservoir, the University of Jamestown, location of Jamestown in the state, JRMC, Buffalo Museum Frontier Village, and the public school district.
Population growth was project to rise from 15,000 to 18,000 in five years, to 21,000 in ten years, and to 22,000 by the year 2040.. 2,500 new housing units will need to be built to accommodate the population increase.
Bob Shannon added in the future there will be forecasted traffic models available, to project road systems needed to accommodate growth.
In August this year the travel demand portion of the plan will be completed, with the Preliminary Draft ready by November 2014.
Mayor Andersen said the plan will be available on the city’s web site, and copies at CityHall.

The State Water Commission will allocate funds appropriated in the 2013-2015 biennium for these permanent flood control projects. The total amount of grant and loan funding approved by the Commission was $12,540,294 for the Valley City project and $1,775,000 for Lisbon.
