City leaders said in May 2026 that the old school, formerly a Sears store, would be torn down for middle-income housing.
City Manager Ken Larking said the building was in poor condition and would need a new roof and electrical system. Danville planned to transfer the property to the Industrial Development Authority, demolish it and market the site to developers, likely for multifamily housing.
