(WNY News Now) – Jamestown, NY – The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame (CSHOF) is set to reveal its redesigned storefront at 15 W. Third St., Jamestown, on January 19 at 4:00 p.m., following a successful collaboration with local entities.
CSHOF President Randy Anderson attended a Storefront Mastery workshop sponsored by the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation and as a result was motivated to improve the appearance of the CSHOF’s windows and doors along Third Street and Mechanics Alley.
With advice and encouragement from Frank Beese, JRC Executive Director, Anderson worked with 360 Graphics owner Brandon Carlson to create a storefront design that improves the visual appeal of the CSHOF facility and enhances the walkability and aesthetics of Downtown Jamestown.
Funding for the project came from the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation and the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, Tory Irgang, Executive Director. Additional assistance came from the Lakewood Rod & Gun Club.
“We are thrilled to support this project as it helps the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame share its message with the community and improves the aesthetics of an iconic downtown building,” said JRC’s Frank Beese.
“This project is a perfect example of how modest grants can have a big impact,” said Tory Irgang CRCF Executive Director. “We are a long-time supporter of the CSHOF, JRC and efforts to strengthen downtown Jamestown. For all of these reasons, awarding this grant made a lot of sense.”
“The window artwork provides a fresh, new look to the CSHOF’s location, while showcasing the organization’s mission,” said Elizabeth Jones, CRCF Community Impact Officer. “This was a great collaborative community project we are pleased to be a part of.”
Brandon Carlson of 360 Graphics added, “We enjoyed working with the CSHOF on this project. With the amazing local sports history and displays within the hall of fame, our goal was to update the curb appeal to attract new and repeat visitors. We also wanted to give the staff the ability to update the window displays using the new LED lit frames, giving downtown patrons up-to-date CSHOF content and news.”
