Dear Neighbor,

As the state representative for the 109th District, I'm pleased to announce Danbury has been recommended to receive $5 million from the Community Investment Fund for the revitalization of Downtown Danbury. 

The project would enhance pedestrian and streetscape features along key streets -- Main Street (Route 53) from Boughton Street to Crosby Street, Liberty Street from Main Street to Patriot Drive, Independence Way, White Street from Ives Street to Main Street, a portion of Elm Street, Post Office Walk, and Kennedy Avenue.

I am deeply grateful to the CIF 2030 board and our legislative leadership for prioritizing Danbury and ensuring our city gets the investment it deserves. Our strong partnership in advocacy with Mayor Roberto Alves means Danbury is finally getting its fair share. Together, we are delivering more than ever for our community. A special shout out to the Danbury grants team for its tireless efforts to ensure the city receives every single dollar it can to make improvements for the residents and its visitors.

The recommended $5 million for "Downtown Revitalization: Streetscapes for the Future" project will enhance walkability, improve infrastructure, and support local businesses, making Danbury an even better place to live, work, and play.
 
Strong downtowns drive economic growth, and this funding is a major step forward in building a more vibrant and prosperous Danbury for every resident.

The state bonding commission will vote on the CIF board recommendations at its upcoming meeting.

Sincerely,

Farley Santos
