A proposal for a south county catering business to take over the Jamestown airport restaurant is on hold for at least another month.

During the recent Chautauqua County Legislature meeting, lawmakers tabled a resolution that would have permitted Basil & Bones to rent the airport restaurant at a cost of $400 a month through April. It will be taken up at its October meeting.

A catering business, Basil & Bones sent an email to The Post-Journal/OBSERVER stating that they want to rent the airport to expand their current business.

“This is not a relocation, and all of our current operations will not be affected,” they wrote.

During a September committee meeting, it was stated that Basil & Bones was looking into opening a full service restaurant next year.

No reason was given during the full legislature meeting why the resolution was tabled.

In other business:

– The county is transferring $501,658 from its American Rescue Plan Act funds for the Conewango Dams Sediment Removal and Valve Rehabilitation Project. The county previously agreed to repair two of the dams, however after the bids went out and were returned, they were low enough that they could repair all four dams. Once repaired, the valves are expected to last for up to 50 years.
