"The people of Danville have entrusted us to build a world-class resort, and we look forward to proving that trust was well founded with an incredible resort worthy of the iconic Caesars brand." "Over the course of the last two years, myself, City Council and staff have taken great care to develop plans, alongside residents and Caesars Entertainment, to create a resort that will positively impact the community through new tax revenue, jobs, partnership opportunities with local businesses and tourism dollars," said Danville Mayor Alonzo Jones, who also served as a co-chair on the "Caesars for Danville" campaign committee. "We are confident that Caesars Virginia will honor the old Dan River Mills' Schoolfield site and become a pillar of pride for Danville and its people."
