Owner: Future of downtown Danville fire site is unclear

DANVILLE – Building owner Tenley Lippie would like to rebuild at 105-109 N. Vermilion St., where a March 26 fire tore through two businesses in downtown Danville. But the decision to rebuild hinges on funding.

Everyone's first choice, said Lippie of Fort Wayne, Ind., is to save the facade and reconstruct the building. But the question is whether that can be funded reasonably, she said.
