Danville, IL – 08/31/2023 – Downtown Danville Inc., is thrilled to announce the award of an Exterior Improvement Grant to Crose Insurance Agency.
The Crose Insurance Agency was recently awarded $5000.00 of grant funding by Downtown Danville Inc., to support a tuck point repair project on their building. James and Debra Crose purchased the building at 113 N. Vermilion Street in 2000 and renovated the first floor of the former shoe store into their Insurance Agency and turned the second floor into their downtown home. The couple both lives and works in Downtown Danville!
The Executive Director of Downtown Danville Inc., Annie Monyok, says that The Crose Insurance Agency is the first of many grants the organization is planning to fulfill in the next year. “Downtown Danville Inc., suspended its grant activities during COVID and we’re thrilled to be in a position to revisit those requests.” Monyok continues; “We want to emphasize the profound commitment Downtown Danville, Inc. holds towards serving downtown businesses and fostering shared economic growth and prosperity.”
The mission of Downtown Danville Inc. is to drive sustainable growth in the heart of our city by championing downtown businesses, funding targeted grants, creating opportunities for collaboration, and implementing initiatives that enhance the appeal and economic prosperity of the vibrant Downtown Danville community.
