The Animal Control Facility project in Danbury is moving forward after several unexpected delays. 

Mayor Mark Boughton says it's a $2 million project, with $1 million previously allocated.  When the City Council approved a budget earlier this month, there was $700,000 in bonding included in the capital budget.  Boughton says a donor, whom he has not publicly identified, is covering the balance.

He notes that they ran into some unforeseen conditions when they looked to replace the existing building.

Public Works Director Antonio Iadarola says the road was put in place, but the right-of-way was never abandoned so the City had to deal with that.  The overhead wires needed to be relocated, at a large expense.  He says the design has been completed and his department plans to go out to bid by the end of the month.
