The Schoolfield District includes the Schoolfield Neighborhood & Village, the Main Street Corridor, and part of the Dan River Mills site (future home of Casears Casino).
The importance of Dan River Inc. cannot be overstated. This site is at the heart of the economic history of the nation’s textile production that made Danville known throughout the 1800s and 1900s as a major economic hub. The Dan River Mill was once the largest single-unit textile mill in the world.
Imagine if Schoolfield could be a place that welcomes everyone, not just in Danville, but the world.
