Your Opinion Matters!

Have Input on the Future of Downtown Danville



The Downtown Danville Association is undertaking an important assessment and planning process, and we need your help!

You are invited to attend one of four Downtown Focus Groups which will meet Thursday, February 21st and Friday, February 22nd, at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., at City Hall.  Given the exciting attention and investment focused Downtown and the River District, we recognize growing opportunities to respond to resource gaps and support Downtown/River District businesses, residents and visitors.  We need input from stakeholders like you as we explore:

·         Real and perceived barriers for attracting and retaining businesses and Danville residents to Downtown and the River District
·         Ways for a support organization like ours to make a meaningful and substantive difference to economic development and civic life in Downtown and in the River District

Each Focus Group will last no more than one hour.  Led by an outside facilitator, Bethany Chaney, the discussion format is designed to be interactive and candid.  (DDA board members will not be in attendance.)  Coffee and light refreshments will be available.

To RSVP, please click on the link below and choose the date and time that works best for you.  The facilitator will send a reminder and a set of guiding questions to those who can attend.  Please RSVP no later than Tuesday, February 19th at close of business


Thank you for your time and help!    

Sincerely,

Downtown Danville Association Board of Directors
Robert Brooks, President
Corrie Teague, Secretary

There will soon be 30 new public parking spaces in downtown Danville at the former Downtowner site.

 The Danville Industrial Development Authority voted unanimously Thursday to table ideas for the smaller, lower section of the site, but it will create 30 parking spaces on the larger, upper part of the lot.
