20 projects across Connecticut will share $11 million in funding under a competitive grant program for transit-oriented development and responsible growth, targeted at boosting economic activity and creating jobs. 

Danbury is set to receive $225,000 in state grant money for a Downtown Transit-Oriented Development Planning Study. 

The money will be used for research on land use and transportation conditions in the downtown.  Recommendations will then be made to further transit-oriented development, responsible growth, and infill development in the City's downtown area. The planning study will also focus on analyzing existing transportation modes of ridership.
