ALBANY – The city of Jamestown will be getting a boost from the state to help with its tree planting program.
Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced state Urban Forestry grants totaling nearly $800,000 will be distributed to communities and organizations across the state. In Chautauqua County, Jamestown is set to receive $25,000.
During a ceremony at the Empire State Plaza in Albany on Friday, the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and the State Arbor Day Committee joined other state and local officials for an annual tree planting event in conjunction with the grants announcement.
The announcement coincided with Arbor Day – which takes place every year on the final Friday of April.
