Politicians Need To Sell Chautauqua County

To The Reader’s Forum:

After reading the June 18 article about shovel ready resources, I have to ask, what are our area politicains doing?

It seems like very time I watch the news, Buffalo gets more millions of dollars from Governor Cuomo for new industry. I’m sure if millions were brought into the Jamestown area to create more industry and consequently more jobs, our young people would stay here to work. Lakewood has a manufacturing building that has been empty for two years or more, Jamestown has many such buildings as well as available acres to be developed.

Seems our politicians think it’s more important to dump millions into a comedy center where people come to watch and then go back home. Maybe they spend a few bucks on food or souvenirs. We have a good community where poeple don’t get shot on a daily basis. We have I-86 for access to places all over Western New York. But we need good paying jobs here. Our politicians need to start selling Chautauqua County.
