About CityCenter Danbury
Danbury's Downtown Special Serives District
Promoting and Revitalizing Danbury's Historic Downtown
The Danbury Downtown Special Services District, more commonly known and doing business as CityCenter Danbury, was established in 1988 by a vote of downtown property owners. The one square mile district in the heart of Danbury includes 215 parcels owned by 150 property owners who pay a modest special assessment over and above their regular real estate property taxes. These special tax revenues generate an average of $138,000 annually that is earmarked for downtown revitalization programs, special services and capital improvements. CityCenter Danbury is a body politic and corporate under the provisions of Connecticut General Statutes Chapter 105a (as amended) and the code of Ordinances of Danbury, CT under Chapter XIXB. CityCenter Danbury is run by a twelve member Board of Commissioners elected by the downtown property owners and a Manager. The District is concerned with any issue that pertains to the improvements of the physical and/or economic environment of the downtown. CityCenter Danbury works on such issues as parking, marketing and promotion, special events, business recruitment, security, streetscape improvements and maintenance. The Danbury Downtown Council is the second business organization that is part of CityCenter that works to plan and implement the district's special events and promotion's programs. These include the CityCenter Summertime Festival, Taste of Greater Danbury, Farmers Market, Halloween on the Green and the annual Holiday Lighting program. CityCenter Danbury works in partnership with the City of Danbury, the Greater Danbury Chamber of Commerce, the Northwest Connecticut Convention and Visitors Bureau and the new city office of Economic Development to enhance and promote CityCenter Danbury as the premiere downtown district in western Connecticut.
