together to make Jamestown a better place.

Growing Jamestown

Grants from the Fund for the Region to the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation has allowed JRC to engage, inspire and lead city residents and officials into making Jamestown more beautiful. According to Mary Maxwell, JRC neighborhood project associate, the Healthy Neighborhood initiative has created several programs designed to strengthen local neighborhoods by increasing owner confidence through collaborations, interactions and beautification, and to inspire others to reinvest. Those programs include Hands on Jamestown, Community Gardens, Jamestown Historic Districts, Renaissance Block Challenge and, new in 2019, Paint Jamestown. In 2019, the Renaissance Block Challenge and Paint Jamestown will focus on properties in the Allen Park/UPMC Chautauqua neighborhoods on the city’s south side. Like previous years, homeowners performing exterior renovations can apply for matching funds and support from local experts, such as contractors and landscapers. Paint Jamestown offers 10 homeowners in this area grants to paint the outside of their property in one of 50 historic color schemes. Since 2011, the Renaissance Block Challenge has engaged 450 homeowners and landlords and invested more than $1 million to property owners through personal investments and small matching grants.

Where Are They Now? After several educational opportunities took her halfway around the

world, Emily (Schlick) Garrick has returned home.

The 2007 Jamestown High School graduate earned a Bachelor of Arts

degree in History from Wells College and a Master of Science degree

for Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language from the

University of Rochester.

While completing her degrees, Emily studied abroad in Costa Rica

and India working with children from birth through high school to

improve their English speaking skills.

Today, Emily teaches English as a New Language to fifth and sixth graders at Washington

Middle School in Jamestown.
