DANVILLE, Va. (WDBJ) – For many years, the City of Danville owned its welcome center. But in 2008, the ownership was transferred over to the Virginia Tourism Corporation, while the city continued to oversee its every day operations.’For some reason, nobody is really clear why, the city transferred ownership of the welcome center to the Virginia Tourism Corporation. We’ve started a new tourism program in the city of Danville, we want to operate the welcome center at a different level than what we’ve been doing over the past few years,’ said Ken Larking, Danville City Manager.
