Jamestown (CSi)  Jamestown Mayor Dwaine Heinrich says the recent presentation on the concept of Bison World, documented the positive impact it will have on Jamestown, and North Dakota.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 he pointed out that Bison World is a 501 c3 non profit and will with approval from North Dakota be funded by the State’s Legacy Fund.

He said that the profits from Bison World will be back into the Legacy Fund, and that no tax dollars will be used.

On another topic, Mayor Heinrich while there is no need to panic over the COVID-19 variants that are in North Dakota or may be coming to North Dakota, to get vaccinated with two vaccines, for those 18 years old and older, spaced apart when indicated and then the booster shot six months after the last vaccine.  The pediatric Pfizer Vaccine is available for those 5-11 years old.

Regularly scheduled vaccination and testing clinics are available, with a registration.

Boosters are available through Central Valley Health District in Jamestown, and City County health in Valley City, along with the Jamestown VA Clinic.

The mayor added that while active COVID-19 cases in Stutsman County have increased in recent weeks, at 114 as of the Sunday December 5, 2021,  NDDoH reports they are much lower than the active cases a year ago, in the mid triple digits.

He said residents should continue to use common sense in protective measures.
