The Citizen Academy is an in-depth look at the functions of local government designed to help citizens become more informed and involved in the community. Classes will include an overview of Police, Fire, Public Works, Utilities, Community Development, Economic Development, Finance, Administration, Parks & Recreation, and Transportation. After the success of the first class during Fall 2012, the City of Danville is excited to offer the Citizen Academy to our residents who wish to learn more about their community.
