Preservation-first adaptive reuse anchored by the Arcade Building instead of another passive downtown placeholder.
Revitalize Jamestown
Save the Arcade. Build Jamestown's next destination.
Revitalize Jamestown is a preservation-first redevelopment initiative focused on restoring the Arcade Building, building a second destination anchor downtown, and turning that draw into more movement for local businesses, events, and overnight stays.
Arcade Building Revitalization and ReuseA landmark project positioned as a second anchor for downtown Jamestown.
Project proposition
One landmark. One public case. One clear place to start.
The site is not meant to act like a pitch-deck landfill. It has one job: make the project understandable fast, point people to the records, and show where the process actually stands.
A second destination anchor built to push visitors into local food, lodging, shops, and later riverwalk activity.
Published dossier, current source files on hand, and a logged update trail instead of vague status language.
Public paths
Three places the public actually needs to go.

02ProgressTrack outreach, process movement, and current city work through a live vertical workflow board.
