Jill Bergman
Economic Development Manager
In my role as Economic Development Manager, I have the distinct pleasure of meeting business owners and entrepreneurs excited about the prospects of launching a business in Danville. This effort itself can seem like a daunting process, which is why the Town decided to take a proactive approach to develop the Business Concierge Program to engage businesses early and often. We did this by developing a “Concierge” team of leaders that offer personalized service to new and expanding businesses, providing them with tools needed to streamline the process and open their doors to customers sooner. Our team is focused and ready to help, and the pleasure is all ours.
The landscape of Danville’s business community is constantly changing. New businesses sprout with energy and passion, while longtime favorites evolve to keep up with current trends by tailoring services and products to our community. If you haven’t shopped locally for a while, I invite you to experience the vast array of local businesses in your neighborhood shopping centers or reacquaint yourself with what’s new in the heart of our historic downtown. Rediscover our unique collection of award-winning stores and restaurants that give Danville its friendly, small-town feel and creating the perfect place to spend a few hours browsing.
The success of our community, first and foremost, stems from residents’ support. When you invest to sustain locally owned independent community businesses, they in turn reinvest in the community we all treasure.
So please help nourish our businesses by looking to Danville first and remembering to Live Locally!
