DANBURY, CT | Development Thread
Attention: Currently undergoing revamp...
Danbury, Hat City http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...onnecticut.jpg Taken by: Daniel Case http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7336/1...49a19ea2_b.jpg Taken by: Me (Tubeworm) ~ Jan 2014 City Facts: Danbury, Connecticut is located about 60 miles Northeast of New York City. According to the Census Bureau, as of the 2011 estimation, Danbury has a small population of around 81,700. As of the 2007 census estimate, the population of the Danbury NECTA (metropolitan area) was 162,700. Most of Danbury's bordering towns use Danbury's recourses for daily errands. In the past few decades, Danbury has experienced a rapid population growth; the population was only 65,600 in 1990. Danbury was also formerly called the "Hat City" because at one point, it was the center of the hat industry. Danbury once produced 25% of America's hats! But more importantly, the current Danbury is rapidly growing and reinventing itself. The United States is slowly redeveloping its economy and so is Danbury. First off, I will be presenting the current buildings Danbury has to offer. Since Danbury is rather small compared to its siblings down south along the Gold Coast (Stamford, Norwalk, Bridgeport, New Haven) and its mother (NYC), I will be listing buildings with a minimum of 4 (or 3) stories with a minimum height of 45 feet. In such a small city, even the small buildings make a difference visually.

I hope that Metro North extension to New Milford happens soon. It's definitely needed.
And supposedly there are plans to electrify the whole route. That would be huge. |

Four Corners Revitalization (Brookfield Town Center District) looks to be progressing very quickly! The Residences @ Laurel Hill (40-64 Laurel Hill Rd.) and Laurel Hill Townhomes (57 Laurel Hill Rd.) have been approved by Brookfield Zoning Commission and are scheduled to break ground next spring (of 2013). Those with more information on the project, please fill me in! These will be some of the very first new developments associated with the Four Corners Revitalization.

Well, Danbury seems to be growing fast what with the development on the west side of town near the state line. Could hit 90K by Census 2020.
