City nixes car washes on West Main St.

(Danville) — Danville planners have added another restriction to one of the city’s growing gateways. 

Last year the city established the West Main Corridor Overlay District. It runs from the North Carolina line to Rison Street. It governs new development along the corridor, which is the route many travelers are taking into Danville to visit the casino.  

Danville City Council this week voted unanimously to add car washes as a prohibited use in the district. 

There were already 20 other businesses that are not allowed along that stretch of road. That includes check cashing businesses, vape stores, second hand shops, junkyards, massage parlors and tanning facilities. 

Any existing car washes will be grandfathered in.
