Committee backs moving Danville Landing restaurant plan forward using River Resort Act funds
Summary
The budget committee agreed to advance planning for a Danville Landing commercial building (restaurant/retail), noting about $125,000 in River Resort Act funds and directing staff to begin engineering and bid preparations before the full commission considers funding transfers.
The committee discussed a proposed commercial building at Danville Landing that could host a restaurant, retail or bake shop. The chair said the county "do have... a $125,000 in the, River Resort Act," and described a target build cost estimate of roughly $30–$35 per square foot and an 1,800–2,500 square-foot range.
Members emphasized the need to bid the work, secure engineering plans and confirm reimbursements and timing from other grants before the commission moves funds. The committee approved moving the project forward to the full commission for approval of funding transfers and asked staff to begin planning and prepare a bid package; members discussed possibly transferring $100,000–$125,000 of restricted funds into the appropriate account to begin design and procurement steps.
