Last night Danville City Council approved an ordinance to support a feasibility study for a historic building in town. City Council approved an ordinance for a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts under the Our Town program in the amount of $40,000 with a local match required of $40,000 for a total amount of $80,000.

The funds will be used for a feasibility study and business plan aimed at transforming the Historic City Auditorium into the Danville Arts and Culture Center. City Councilman Lee Vogler voted against the ordinance citing a previous study on the building.

City Manager Ken Larking says this study would be a little different than the previous one.

Ultimately the motion passed with a 5-3 vote to approve the study.
