Jamestown (CSi)  Jamestown Tourism plans to act as an advocate, as tourism works with the community in bringing more athletic events to Jamestown, along with more conventions and bigger attractions to the Jamestown Civic Center.

On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Swedlund says he wants to work with the Civic Center, and officials with Jamestown’s Two Rivers Activity Center (TRAC), and Newman Arena on the University of Jamestown campus, opening soon, to promote Jamestown as a venue for athletic events.

Swedlund adds, with Newman Arena and TRAC available for athletic events, tourism can benefit from the Jamestown Civic Center hosting more conventions, and other attractions not previously held in Jamestown.

He pointed out that over the past few years, Jamestown has added significantly more motel rooms to accommodate those involved in sports, and other activities held in Jamestown.
