A proposed women’s shelter in Chautauqua County is moving ahead with the purchase of a building.

The Post-Journal and OBSERVER have been analyzing real estate transactions in Chautauqua County and recently looked at the sales from April 21-28.

During that time period, Jamestown Rental Properties of Jamestown sold 303 Lafayette St., Jamestown to Chautauqua Opportunities Inc. of Dunkirk for $380,000.

In September, the Jamestown Planning Commission approved a plan for COI to use that location as a single women’s shelter. Currently, Chautauqua County does not have a shelter for females. The new location will provide single women ages 18 and over with a 30-day emergency shelter.

According to Josiah Lamp with COI, they are making progress. “We have secured most of our funding thanks to state and local partners. We are getting to the final stages of the pre-development phase of the project and hope to start construction next year in the spring,” he said this week.

Lamp said once finished, the shelter will be able to house up to 18 women at a time.

In other sales, 60 Nicholas Ave., Westfield village was sold to Westfield Brickhouse Properties, LLC of Westfield for $300,000. This is the location of Westwind Functional Fitness gym. The building appears to be able to house other businesses.

During this time period, there were 11 sales that were $250,000 or higher. Four of the sales were in the town of Ellery (two in Bemus Point). The other seven sales were in Mina, Chautauqua, Gerry, Hanover, Busti, Westfield and Jamestown.
