The River District Development Project
The city of Danville is in the process of implementing a development plan for its “River District,” generally consisting of the traditional central business district, historic tobacco warehouse district and manufacturing area, and contiguous areas. The Design Guidelines list appropriate materials, outline procedures and explain what types of architectural elements are expected for the district’s existing buildings and new construction.
