The City of Danville and the Danville Police Department are taking on a project called “Operation Friendly Town.” Police Chief Chris Yates says the city is revitalizing Friendly Town and wants to get the community involved.

Yates says Friendly town located in Lincoln Park has been a good youth oriented project for more than 50 years.

Renovations and restorations to Friendly Town include repairs to the buildings, additional lighting, replacement of the asphalt to the town streets, removal of some bushes, and a variety of other projects. The city is looking for individuals or organizations to adopt or sponsor some of the nine buildings in Friendly Town. To get involved as an adoptee or a sponsor, reach out to Chief Christopher Yates, at cyates@danvillepd.org or at (217) 431-2234.
