Danville officials hope that, by giving back some of the sales-tax revenue collected from the Steve & Barry's store at the Village Mall, they might help its chances of being one of the locations that remains open.
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."
