The renovation of Friendly Town in Danville’s Lincoln Park brought out a crowd of workers over the weekend. Police Chief Chris Yates says the effort is to revitalize an area that has helped kids for many years.
Every building in the area has been refurbished or had a new one made. A new fence is being installed and a new blacktop has been laid. Yates says the project was funded by a grant, and a tremendous effort from the community.
Local businesses and individuals sponsored and adopted buildings and provided much of the work. Friendly Town will be back in operation helping local kids this summer.
