# Illinois Funds Danville Site Readiness

On November 10, 2026, Illinois awarded Danville a $4 million Regional Site Readiness Program grant for flood remediation and infrastructure improvements at the former Quaker Oats and Heatcraft sites. The work is intended to prepare the combined 100-acre industrial property for manufacturing, logistics, and other investment. The announcement does not identify a construction contractor or issue a solicitation, so the grant signals potential future work rather than an active bid opportunity.

- Contractors specializing in flood remediation, utilities, rail infrastructure, solar installations, and site preparation may find relevant future work as the site is developed.
- Businesses should use the City of Danville and state procurement channels for any resulting solicitations; no bid deadline or procurement schedule is stated in the announcement.
