Bresee Tower repairs up for vote

DANVILLE – Vermilion County officials now have a price tag for temporary repairs to the Bresee Tower exterior that would shore up loose pieces of terra cotta, protect pedestrians and buy time for the historic building to attract a developer.

Pieces of the terra cotta exterior of Bresee Tower have fallen in the last several months, creating a hazard to pedestrians around the building at 4 N. Vermilion St. in downtown Danville.
