Jamestown  (CSi)  A number of organizations have applied in this round of Tourism’s  City Capital Improvement Grants.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSI Cable 2,

Jamestown Tourism Director, Searle Swedlund said one of those is on behalf of the National Buffalo Museum, requesting funds to purchase a kid’s interactive buffalo exhibit.   He said children will have the opportunity to learn more about the American Bison, by being able to take the exhibit apart.

Other Grant Requests will be coming from officials with Jamestown Moto Cross, and Rodeo, along with plans for a Downtown Jamestown Wall Mural.

He pointed out that a grant has been received from the North Dakota Historical Society, that will allow the hiring of an individual to catalog items at Frontier Village, for reference.

The Capital Improvement funds are distributed twice a year, in March and October.

Also discussed was the Jamestown City Council approving the lease agreements at Frontier Village, and the stagecoach and horse ride agreements.

Searle pointed out that Ft. Seward has received a grant toward the project that will install tent-type structures there, that he said with additional funding may enable to have the Fort installing them this summer.
