Hosted by acclaimed actor, Dennis Quaid, “Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid” is a major visual storytelling initiative designed to showcase why Jamestown is a compelling place to live, work, invest, and grow.

Home ownership remains within reach and essential services; including dependable, affordable water, and power; help keep living and operating expenses reasonable.”
Ecklund said a targeted email campaign went out Wednesday, February 18 that reached more than 1 million individuals nationwide. The email directed recipients to the City’s opportunity page and city website. Ecklund said a 30-second commercial is airing during the month of February in the top 100 regional media markets. On Wednesday, February 25, the commercial will air during a nationally televised Prime Time broadcast. Ecklund added that the full 5-minute corporate documentary has been distributed to public television affiliates nationwide and will continue airing throughout 2026.
The project cost $29,000 and was funded through the Gebbie Foundation and the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities with in-kind assistance from the City of Jamestown and Collaborative Children’s Solutions.
Both the documentary and commercial are available for viewing on the City of Jamestown’s website and official YouTube channel.
