Priorities in 2025
Jan. 4—Turning the calendar to start a new year seems a natural time to take a look back and set priorities for the 12 months ahead. Deciding on what is important allows us to focus efforts on issues that could use improvements. That goes for local government as well as people. One of the top three things Danville officials should direct their energy toward during 2025 is revitalizing — almost recreating — downtown. The area can be defined in a number of ways, but the basic understanding of what constitutes downtown Danville would begin at Towne Centre and run north to at least Williams Street, including Walnut Street on the west and Hazel Street on the east. That center core includes the county courthouse, Joseph Cannon County Building, Danville City Hall, Danville Public Library, Vermilion County War Museum, Fischer Theatre, David S. Palmer Arena, and a number of businesses. It's an area that has seen dramatic change in recent years with the demolition of several significant buildings and plans to raze the largest — Bresee Tower and the adjacent Vermilion County Courthouse Annex — coming soon. It includes bustling businesses along with empty buildings and vacant lots. Downtown served as the focus for a number of strategic plans over the years, but the area has received little attention in the way of significant improvements aside from demolitions. The importance of a vital, attractive downtown to a thriving community cannot be emphasized enough. A few extra lights and some new plants look nice but do little to change the overall function of downtown. Jeff Siegler, one of the founders of an organization called Revitalize or Die — — recently put it this way: "The most important thing a community can do to improve its economy, attract tourism, and enhance residents' quality of life is to create an attractive, walkable downtown. A place that makes people feel proud, joyful, and connected. When a downtown achieves this, it becomes a magnet for people—and where people go, businesses and investment always follow. ... "When you focus on making your downtown a place where people want to spend time, the benefits ripple outward. Businesses thrive. Tourism grows. Property values rise. And your community gains a reputation as a destination. These places stand out because there are so few of them, making them wildly successful by their very nature." Creating that kind of fundamental change doesn't come easy. City officials alone can't make it happen. If Danville residents want a downtown that reflects a growing, progressive, and vital community, then they will need to step up and lend a hand. What are the plans for the existing empty spaces? What will happen to the location where Bresee now stands? How can the city build on its popular events schedule to create more attractions to entice visitors to the area? Can the city devise incentives to help existing businesses and help grow new ones? What do residents want to see downtown? The answers to all of these questions will help determine Danville's future during the next decade. Parking lots, vacant buildings, and fast-food franchises don't create long-term change. Strategic plans are great. They can help shape a path for progress. But it takes action and more than a few dollars to create real change. That's why Danville City Council members must make downtown a priority in 2025 and do what is necessary to revitalize one of the most important parts of our community.
