Visitors to see rehabbed facades in downtown Danville

DANVILLE – This week's Illinois Main Street Conference visitors will get to see firsthand what more than $236,000 has done to the face of downtown.

About 200 representatives from the state's 70 Main Street communities arrive tonight for the program's annual conference. This marks the first year Danville has hosted the conference, though the city has bid for it several times in the past.
