Gaming appears to be a good revenue source for the City of Danville. The Public Services committee this week will hear a report on gaming money coming into city coffers. So far it the current fiscal year, which started in May, Danville has received more than 1.1 million dollars from the Casino wagering tax. And Danville has gotten another 169 thousand dollars on the Admission tax it receives from the Golden Nugget Casino. All those video games in local bars and restaurants also have helped city revenue. Danville has obtained more than 500 thousand dollars in video game taxes.
The committee on Tuesday will also discuss paying more than 100 thousand dollars to line a sanitary sewer in South Danville. The sewer at 7 East Second street collapsed and needed emergency repairs. The repairs showed that a sewer line in poor condition and where collapses were imminent. He city plans to hire a company to line the sewer from 4th to 1st streets to stabilize it.
The committee meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.
