DANVILLE — Deed paperwork to transfer six west downtown city lots for new-home construction has started, and the developer is hoping to be close to breaking ground within two weeks.
Wes Taylor of Taylor Construction & Design said he has received correspondence indicating that the city started title work to deed the lots to his company.
Plans for the new home are in the drafting phase, he said, adding that he hopes they’ll be submitted for permits by next week and the city will work to expedite the process.
A new-home construction agreement in the west downtown neighborhood got the green light from the Danville City Council this week, with aldermen expressing excitement with a development many in the city have worked on for decades.
Urbana-based Taylor Construction & Design plans to build two homes right away and at least two more later. The development agreement calls for the city to donate six parcels at 318 and 324 Oak St.; 205, 207 and 209 Seminary St.; and 402 Franklin St.
