Dwaine Heinrich

Jamestown  (CSi)  Jamestown Mayor Dwaine Heinrich points out that a little time remains for those qualifying for the Homestead Property Tax Credit.

On Monday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi cable 2, he said, the program is for property owners 65 years old and older, or disabled with an annual income of $42,000 or less.

He said the tax dollars are reimbursed to the city from the state.

More information by contacting the city or county assessors.

He added that the North Dakota legislature will be taking up the “Praire Dog Bill.”

He said the bill aims to distribute dollars to non-oil producing counties for purposes of infrastructure improvements including roads, sewers and other needs.

The Mayor pointed out that the distribution is based on population, and that the City of Jamestown is in line for $2.4 million annually under the bill, which is designed to be an on-going distribution.

On our show, Mayor Heinrich added that the two traffic signals, part of the upgrade on Highway 281  South at the I-94 interchange will be installed in the next few weeks.  The city will have more information on the exact dates of installation.
