Christmas Tree Set For City Hall Delivery
Trending
This year's city Christmas Tree will be a 40-foot-tall Norway Spruce that is being donated by The New Hope Community Church. The tree will be harvested from the Church yard at 40 City View Ave. in Jamestown.
Once the tree is removed by a crew from the city Parks, Recreation and Conservation Department, along with assistance from the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities, it will be transported to City Hall for display on Tracy Plaza.
A truck and trailer will be donated and driven by Lake Shore Paving for the tree's transportation.
A BPU crane will raise and hold the tree in place while it is secured in preparation for decorating with more than 3,000 energy saving LED lights by parks staff members. The Spruce tree will tower about 40 feet above its base on Tracy Plaza.
Harvesting of the tree is scheduled tentatively for 9 a.m. today, arriving at City Hall at about 10 a.m.
The ceremonial lighting of the Christmas Tree will be during this year's Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 3.
