The Town’s top priority is and always will be the safety and security of the community.

In an effort to keep litter off the roadside or to keep the birds out of your trash bags, you may purchase a small storage Bin with a lid for your trash. These can be purchased at any local hardware store.
If you choose to purchase one instead of placing your trash bags on the ground, consider a container with wheels to make it easy on you! Our staff will simply remove the bags from your container and throw them in our sanitation truck. Do not purchase a deep can as our staff may not be able to get the bags out easily.
Remember to label the container with your address and mark “DO NOT THROW AWAY”.
Town Council will be looking to a permanent solution in 2020.

The Public Review and Comment period begins today for the DRAFT 2045 MTP (Metropolitan Transportation Plan) and the DRAFT CTP (Comprehensive Transportation Plan) . Both plans are available at the High Point MPO Website at https://www.highpointnc.gov/2272/Public-Review
Due to COVID-19 and our local libraries not open for walk in, we are not printing hard copies of the plans to distribute at this time. You are welcome to print off copies of the plans if you choose. During the week of July 13- July 17 HPMPO staff will have an information table located in the High Point City Hall lobby for citizens to view the draft plans and maps. Depending on Governor Copper’s decision to move to Phase 3 of reopening, additional public involvement may occur. Those meeting times and locations will be advertised as required by our Public Participation Policy.
The public comment period will end on July 31st. Staff will request a recommendation for approval of both plans at our August TCC meeting and approval at our August TAC meeting.
The Town of Jamestown is finalizing an update to the Comprehensive Parks & Recreation Master Plan. This plan will become important as the Town seeks future grant funding to improve recreation amenities in Jamestown. The plan represents over 12 months of work by the Parks & Recreation Master Plan Steering Committee, the Parks & Recreation Advisory Committee and town staff and includes feedback given through public engagement over that time. The final draft, cost estimates, and an action & implementation plan are included for public review and comment.
Please send all comments via email to nlowe@mcadamsco.com via email no later than June 8, 2020.
The Town Council will be considering the adoption of this master plan at the June 16, 2020, regular Council meeting.
