Danville wants to return sales-tax money to Steve & Barry's

DANVILLE – Officials want to give back part of the sales-tax money the city has collected from Steve & Barry's while its corporate officials continue evaluating individual stores after declaring bankruptcy in July.

"We think this will help as corporate looks at making decisions," said Danville Mayor Scott Eisenhauer. "Anywhere we can help offset costs makes this store more likely to remain open versus somewhere else where they have large expenses that have no offset."
