## Resource

Danville’s historic Masonic Temple is being transformed into an 80-room hotel with restaurants and a ballroom, causing temporary traffic reroutes on South Union Street. Meanwhile, the city is launching five months of workshops to help small, women-owned, and minority-owned businesses earn state certifications—opening doors to city contracts and boosting local visibility. The first session is this Tuesday. Also on the horizon: an $8 million substation project to support a major new electric consumer moving into the former Morgan Olson building, aimed at stabilizing the grid, managing demand, and potentially avoiding future rate hikes.
