Although it has been slow coming….Danville Mayor Scott Eisenhauer still believes development along the Vermilion River will help spur excitement in the downtown area. He notes the city has already been working on a boardwalk near the river…
And the Mayor envisions the day when activities along the Riverfront District will link to the Palmer Arena and elsewhere…
Meanwhile the Illinois Department of Natural Resources continues work on the removal of two low-head dams along the river. One dam behind the Public Safety Building has already been removed, and another at Ellsworth Park is expected to be removed by the end of the year.
[It was in September of 2015 that some buildings along West Main Street were demolished to make way for the Riverfront Development project.]
