• Piney Forest Road improvements, Danville (virginia.gov) — If you drive Piney Forest Road, VDOT is planning safety and traffic-flow improvements in Danville and wants your input at a June 30 public hearing. Residents can review detailed plans and environmental documents, then submit comments in person, by mail, or email through July 10, helping shape how this busy corridor will function in coming years. 
• 'Marcus Alert' begins in Danville and Pittsylvania County for mental health crises (wset.com) — Danville and Pittsylvania County have launched the Marcus Alert co-response program, sending behavioral health professionals alongside police to certain mental health crises.
