DANVILLE — New construction homes in Danville have been few and far between in the last few years.
In fact, there was only one new home built in 2022, another in 2023 and zero in 2024. At times in the past, Habitat for Humanity of Danville’s projects were the only new builds.
That’s why city officials are excited about an opportunity to partner with home builder Taylor Construction and Design of Urbana to build new homes in the area of Oak and Seminary streets, with the possibility for more, and even a new subdivision in the city.
The Danville City Council on Tuesday will consider approving a development agreement for Taylor Construction and Design to build a minimum of two new homes — possibly four.
The council meets at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 17 W. Main St.
