On Tuesday, Danville City Council voted unanimously to rezone 1100 W. Main St. in Schoolfield from M-I industrial manufacturing to C-E casino entertainment district, where Caesars Virginia plans to build its $400 million casino resort.

Caesars Virginia plans to build a casino resort at the former Dan River Inc. site in Schoolfield at the West Main Street location.

In addition, the old, 750-000-square foot finishing building will be demolished, Schlang told the council.
“There are a lot of contaminants in the building,” Schlang said. “A lot of rusted rebar in the concrete. The cost of remediation is prohibitive.”
