Link to June 10 Jamestown Post Journal article.Excerpt: The fire isn't expected to affect the renovation of the train station, according to Teresi, since the fire didn't have a negative effect on the structure.
The historic 1931 train station has been named one of the ''Seven to Save'' historic locations in New York. The Art Deco landmark has been vacant since 1973 and sustained other fires over the years. The DJDC, the city of Jamestown and the Jamestown Urban Renewal Agency have together been working on renovating the structure and turning it into a multi-use downtown hub.
Construction on the roughly $11 million project was set to begin in November and conclude in December 2010. Jamestown firefighters are asking anyone with information about the fire at the train station, or any other suspicious fire to call the arson tip line at 483-7509, where all calls are handled confidentially.
