Clarifications

The members of the Danville-Boyle County Parks & Recreation Board consist equal members from both the city and county; three from each, plus one joint member. The split of the members was incorrect in Thursday’s story “Danville unhappy as search for Parks & Rec director moves forward.”

In Thursday’s story, “Plan for downtown mural unexpectedly rejected,” Kate Snyder should have been identified as director of marketing and development for the CAC, and member of the Heart of Danville design committee. Also, the mural project is an initiative of the Heart of Danville only.
