Owner-operators of The Blue Store liquor stores in Danville and Westville are looking to open a high-end tavern and video gaming in the former Midwest Gymnastics and Cheer Gym on North Vermilion Street in Danville.

The Danville Area Planning and Zoning Commission will meet at 5:15 p.m. Thursday at the Robert E. Jones Municipal Building, 17 W. Main St., to consider the special-use permit. Petitioner CHD Property Developer LLC is requesting a special-use permit to allow for the tavern/bar in the B2-general business zoning district at 3234 N. Vermilion St.

The building currently is vacant and walls would be put up to divide the space, said Jesse Singh, petitioner.
