The City of Jamestown is a low-cost, high-quality alternative to expensive cities for budget-conscious entrepreneurs. Jamestown enjoys a bustling downtown that includes retail shops, restaurants and world-class destinations like the National Comedy Center, Robert H. Jackson Center, the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History and the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts. Near downtown are many available sites for light industrial, manufacturing and commercial development including sites at the nearby Mason Industrial Park. All benefit from the Jamestown Board of Public Utilities’ low-cost electricity, abundant water and superior customer service.

The Jamestown BPU can help your new or existing business in several ways:

  • Technical consulting from our experts for local site selection
