If you are new to the area, you probably have already discovered what a great place this is to live. We have wonderful resources, both natural and human and there is always an opportunity to get involved. We have many local organizations working on various issues of interest and import to the community;  a museum that works on preserving our history, a garden club that keeps the center of Jamesville beautiful, the Chamber of Commerce, Friends of Jamesville Beach, and Council of Park Friends (Clark Reservation) to name a few.

Some of the activities of Jam-Pac:

• Worked with elected officials to improve roadways, create green space and pocket parks. The corners of South Street and Seneca Turnpike and Seneca Turnpike and Route 91 are two examples.

• Participated with County planners to develop a vision for this community that would improve our quality of life. Our hamlet was chosen to participate in a charette with Andre Duany, a nationally known design expert. His vision and ours included the site of the proposed coal plant to become mixed use housing and small businesses.

• Opposed the building of the trash incinerator on Rock Cut Road, pushed for more recycling and have monitored the operation of the plant since its start-up.

•  Worked to relocate and renovate the old train station that now sits in the town square. With Community Development money, the building was to be a community center for the residents of Jamesville. Instead, the Town of DeWitt has decided to charge admission to the building and lists the station as “just another Parks and Recreation"  building for rent.
