HARTFORD –State Representatives Bob Godfrey (D- 110^th House District), Farley Santos (D- 109^th House District) and State Senator Julie Kushner (D – 24^th Senate District) are celebrating the state bonding money that was awarded to Danbury.

 

The State Bond Commission awarded the City of Danbury $1,325,000 for the South Main Street Revitalization project. The funds will be used to improve sidewalks at the intersection of Park & Main, make renovations to Elmwood Park, and conduct a neighborhood drainage study.

 

 

“We worked with each other and with Mayor Roberto Alves to upgrade the area near the old courthouse. It supports the plans to construct badly needed housing along Park Place.  It revitalizes an important part of downtown and begins to deal with the flooding between Main St. and Town Hill Avenue. I'm always happy to bring money home to Danbury," said Rep. Godfrey.

 

“I am delighted to see that our collaborative efforts, together with Mayor Roberto Alves, to champion for Danbury, are consistently yielding positive outcomes for our community," said Rep. Santos. "I am pleased to receive this funding, which will facilitate crucial enhancements for this area of our city.”

 

“This state money will help improve the heart of downtown Danbury, home to our community center and senior center and so many thriving businesses,” said Sen. Kushner. “I want to thank Senate President Looney and Speaker Ritter, who are the co-chairs of the Community Investment Fund Board, for recommending this project for approval back in March. The ongoing state investments in the people and places of Danbury are truly amazing and are genuinely appreciated.”

 

 

This project was previously approved by the Community Investment Fund 2030.
