JAMESTOWN (AP) - Jamestown College is holding a block party to help its students and the community get to know one another.

Former mayor Charlie Kourajian has the title of Main Street-Downtown Association ambassador. He says the students will be neighbors, hopefully, for the next four years.

The Monday block party is aimed at making students aware of community services while helping businesses introduce themselves and recruit workers.

Tena Lawrence is the co-chairman of the College Community Connection. She says more than 70 businesses, organizations, nonprofits and clubs signed up for booth space. Hundreds of students are expected at the daylong event.
