The city council Tuesday approved providing a grant of some 19 thousand dollars for improvements to the Danville Rescue Mission. Mayor Rickey Williams said the city has been working for three years on getting approval of such a grant.
The council also amended its budget to receive an EPA grant of more than 983 thousand dollars. The grant will be used to clean up a brownfield site at the southeast corner of Vermilion and Fairchild Streets.
The promotions of two firefighters took place at Tuesday’s city council meeting. John Darby was promoted to Assistant Fire Chief. Ryan Allison was promoted to Captain.
