Jamestown  (CSi)  Jamestown Tourism will consider two requests under the Capital Construction Fund.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 Director Searle Swedlund said, currently there is $27,000 remaining in the fund to distribute in this round.

He says annually about $80,000 is available in the fund, coming from the Jamestown Restaurant tax.

The applications are considered twice a year, with the application deadlines March 1st, and October 1st each year.

Those applying under the latest round are Frontier Village and Jeff Gould, for additional funding for reconstruction of the Jack Brown Stadium dugouts.

He said the demolition has started on the old dugouts, with footings in place for the new dugouts to be constructed.

He added the Gould will request an additional $15,000 for the project estimated to cost about $250,000 with about $200,000 raised so far.

He pointed out the former dugouts were antiquated in terms of what is needed to accommodate baseball teams of today.

Swedlund said Jack Brown Stadium is considered by many as the premiere baseball stadium in North Dakota and continues to draw teams and fans from around the region to play in Jamestown, plus local teams using the facility.

He added that Frontier Village is applying for funds to continue with building improvements, and maintenance.

The board will meet Thursday March 16, 2017 at 11:30 a.m., at the CSi Technology Center at Historic Franklin School in Downtown Jamestown.
