Some changes are coming in Danbury because of the public health crisis. 

Since some more businesses are allowed to open, the dog parks and tennis courts will reopen this weekend.  The Senior Center will be the last City facility to reopen.  Mayor Mark Boughton says that's because they deal with the most vulnerable population, though he noted that the Senior Center is holding a number of virtual events.  Danbury officials are working on a plan to close out the pandemic homeless shelter at the Super 8 motel on Lake Avenue. 

Shelter Rock School will be hosting a virtual talent show and science fair in June. Boughton says plans are also being formed for a commencement ceremony for high school seniors.  He again cautioned that it will not look like the graduation ceremonies of the past.  Any proposal from DHS Principal Dan Donovan would have to go through the Board of Education and Superintendent Dr. Sal Pascarella. 

Clean City Danbury Day, which typically takes place this month, will be moved to the fall--though no date has been set.

While there will not be a Memorial Day parade this year in Danbury, the Public Works Department will be putting out the annual plantings and flags on Main Street.  The big flag will also be returning to West and Main Streets.
