Danville withdraws funding for Renaissance program

DANVILLE - The future of the Renaissance Danville program is in doubt, now that the city will be cutting its funding for the remainder of this year and all of next year.

Danville Mayor Scott Eisenhauer said in an e-mail Monday afternoon that the money the city is receiving through the telecommunications tax is not meeting revenue projections, so the city must reduce its expenditures within that fund.
