Danville has been awarded 850 thousand dollars in the upcoming federal budget. The funding will be for the Madison Neighborhood Revitalization Project, but many of the details are not yet known.

Community Development administrator Logan Cronk says the city has been working on a plan for the area for more than a year. The project submitted to U.S. Representative Robin Kelly included the improvement of housing through blight removal & rehabilitation, as well as public infrastructure improvements. A news release from the Congresswoman said she was successful in obtaining the money, but there has been very  little information on the specifics of the funding. The area to be developed is around the Carle at the Riverfront Medical Campus. (Map below shows the area)

Congresswoman Kelly said the funding she was able to obtain for projects in her district will improve public safety, support working families, and help communities thrive.
