The agreement between the Danville Industrial Development Authority and The Alexander Company for development of the iconic White Mill building has been extended.
The IDA voted 5-0 during its meeting Tuesday morning to extend the expiration date for the memorandum of understanding through Dec. 31, 2023.

“This gives us a cushion for the IDA to finalize the construction financing for the commercial space,” Bobe told the Danville Register & Bee during an interview following the meeting.
Officials hope to close on all the loans in August and begin construction soon thereafter, Bobe said.
