Whereas the City of Danbury supports the revitalization of its downtown; and whereas
revitalization requires improvements to the image and to the physical appearance of
downtown; and whereas such improvements will benefit directly the owners of downtown
property; and whereas C.G.S. ch. 105a (C.G.S. § 7-339m et seq.) statutes entitles
any municipality to establish by ordinance of its legislative body within its confines
a special services district to promote the economic and general welfare of its citizens
and property owners; and whereas such a district enables property owners to tax themselves
and administer such revenues to provide benefits and services for the district; now,
therefore, in accordance with C.G.S. ch. 105a (C.G.S. § 7-339m et seq.), the City
of Danbury does hereby establish a special services district within its confines,
to be created and operated according to the procedures set out in C.G.S. ch. 105a
(C.G.S. § 7-339m et seq.). The purpose of the district shall be to prevent further
deterioration of the central business district; to enhance the environment in which
people shop, live and work in the central business district; to demonstrate private
commitment to the central business through physical, economic and social improvements;
to work with the government of the City of Danbury to maximize the usefulness of available
public funds by consolidating and coordinating private efforts to assist the City's
downtown revitalization program; and to maintain physical, economic and social improvements
to the central business district through a long-term operations strategy allocating
organizational and financial responsibility.
