Danville has combined both historic preservation and innovation that has enabled Danville and Pittsylvania County to thrive and grow – diversifying the local economy while maintaining its heritage and distinctive sense of place. This is best evidenced in downtown Danville, where historic structures that once served bedrock industries of the past (tobacco warehouses and retail areas), have been restored to house both cutting-edge and core community businesses, as well as residential spaces.
