Illinois Grants $4 Million to Redevelop Former Danville Plant Site Into 100-Acre Shovel-Ready Parcel
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker announced on November 10 a $4 million grant through the state's Regional Site Readiness Program for the former Quaker Oats site in Danville, funding flood-risk removal and access restoration.
Combined with the city-owned former Heatcraft parcel, the redevelopment will create a 100-acre shovel-ready industrial site with a rail spur and solar potential. The governor's office said the Regional Site Readiness Program has now awarded $119 million to 64 projects statewide.
The grant is part of the governor's $500 million fiscal 2026 site readiness initiative, which prepares vacant industrial land in advance so companies can build faster once they choose a location. (Source: Office of the Governor of Illinois)
