The firm in charge of drawing up a vision for enhancement of the Schoolfield area — the soon-to-be home of Danville’s casino — expects to complete the district plan early next year.

After holding an event Oct. 29 for residents to view and comment on elements that will be incorporated into the plan, the firm in charge of the project will finalize it in February.

“We are working to deliver the plan to the office of economic development and tourism in February 2023, and it will likely be unveiled after that,” said Jared McKnight, senior associate and designer with WRT, an urban planning and design and architectural firm in Philadelphia.
