The Post-Journal and OBSERVER have been analyzing real estate sales in Chautauqua County and recently looked at the transactions from Oct. 29-31.

During that time period, JJB Holdings, Inc. of Jamestown sold two parcels on Kortwright Road, Busti to Phoenix Group, Inc. for $525,000, where Stateline Speedway is located.

In an article published Nov. 1 in The Post-Journal and OBSERVER, Bill and Lisa Catania confirmed that their purchase of the 1/3-mile dirt oval from Jim and Jean Scott and Ronda and Chip Turner had been completed.

“This is a business that I want to have for the rest of my life,” said Bill Catania, a 1994 graduate of Westfield Academy & Central School. “This is a business that I want my kids to have in 20 or 30 years. I have no interest in building it to sell it.”
