Danville is developing a lease agreement for the golf carts at Harrison Park. Public Works Director Carl Carpenter told the Public Works committee Tuesday that it would cheaper than the past practice to lease the entire golf cart fleet

He said the good news is that the golf course budget had to be increased because of more use and a longer playing period due to weather last season.

The committee approved the plan, and now it goes to the full City Council next week.

The committee also heard that the state has given approval for demolition of 28 dilapidated houses. Community Development Administrator Logan Cronk says the demolition should happen quickly

The city was granted 399 thousand dollars from the Illinois Housing and Development Authority Stronger Communities Program.
