Curaleaf purchased GR Companies, Inc. in 2019 for approximately $90.1 million.
Veil says the company remains prompt and thorough in working with the city. The committee approved to renew the special use permit agreement with Curaleaf through June 2022.

JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – After nearly two months of discussion and research, the Jamestown Public Works Committee moved to approve a Citywide Cleanup for the week of May 10th through the 14th.
Sanitation Foreman Shawn O’Neill informed the committee that if they were to move forward with the cleanup, he would not have enough staff at this time to conduct the weeklong event.
O’Neill stated they would need to rent two loaders with six part-time employees to help during the week. Councilmember David Steele stated that Deputy Auditor Jay Sveum would be tasked with finding part-time work for the week.
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Jamestown Fire & Police Committee approved the replacement of all lock sets at both fire stations in Jamestown.
In a letter from Jamestown Fire Chief Jim Reuther, it’s requested that they replace all walk door lock sets with electric locks and key fobs instead of replacing lock sets with keys.
“The doors haven’t been rekeyed for over 30 years [and] it’s unknown how many keys are actually existing at this time,” Chief Reuther states. “Lock sets are in poor condition, at times we are unable to enter the building because of them being worn out.”
Councilmember Dan Buchanan made the motion to extend the policy through October, adding the language that limited the policy to those who could not receive the COVID-19 vaccination. The committee unanimously approved. Councilmember David Schloegel was not present.
Later, Councilmember Steele informed the committee of the need for State of ND CARES Act reimbursement to be used toward infrastructure and building repairs and improvements at the Frontier Village.
The amount of $25,000 was considered to be paid from the Frontier Village Fund to begin some of those repairs, which Steele says isn’t enough to do it all, but Jamestown Tourism was looking to collect donations to move forward with more repairs.
JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The City of Jamestown will look to explore some variation of the curbside pickup program later this month.
Originally, a proposal was considered by the city to extend baler hours during the week of May 10th through the 14th for a clean-up/drop-off week.
Councilmember Brian Kamlitz stated he was getting a lot of feedback from constituents calling for the return of the program.
Earlier in the meeting, the council approved a bulk pilot program beginning June 1st at a cost of $5 per item for residents and property owners. This would allow them to pay crews to pick up large items year-round and take them to the baler for disposal.
