Two redevelopment issues up for vote

DANVILLE – The Danville City Council will vote on two resolutions Tuesday that officials say will help spark redevelopment in the downtown and the east side near Danville Area Community College.

Under one resolution, aldermen will vote on whether to approve an option to buy the Colonial Apartments building at 220-222 W. North St. and a vacant lot at 35 Pine St., part of the same property. Officials said acquiring the property will pave the way for an expansion of the nearby Courtesy Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership on Main Street.
