Press release
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BATAVIA, NY \u2013 a public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday May 4th 2021 at 5 PM to receive citizen
and user input for the planned improvements at Jackson Square in Downtown Batavia. The meeting will
be held outdoors in Jackson Square rain or shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


On October 6, 2018, Governor Cuomo announced eight transformational projects for Downtown Batavia
as part of $10 Million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). Enhancing Jackson Square was one
of the eight projects chosen to receive a strategic investment grant of $750,000 to transform public space
in a public plaza.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jackson Square, a public gathering space bordered by historic buildings in the heart of downtown will
be transformed with decorative pavement upgrades, a multi-level deck\/stage, and seating, lighting,
decorative signage. The upgraded public plaza will become a lively hub and common space for
community interaction, and provide connections to multiple businesses through its unique alleyway node
configuration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architectural Resources, the architectural firm selected to design the projects, will be on hand to discuss
the design elements and solicit feedback. After a final design concept is approved the project will advance
the development of construction documents and plans for bidding. Currently, we anticipate the project
to have construction started in the fall of 2021 and to be ready to host entertainment venues in the spring
of 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
