Negotiations for Danbury Career Academy site fall apart

SC Ridge Summit developers plan to meet today with Danbury Mayor Dean Esposito about how to move forward with negotiations for the City to buy three pods of the former Matrix Center so they can be retrofitted for the Danbury Career Academy, a public middle and high school for 14-hundred students.  The Danbury City Council did not end up taking action on related items at their meeting Tuesday night because negotiations broke down.  The Council was set to consider project cost increases of nearly 50-percent, authorization of 4 million dollars for design services and a downpayment on the proposed 19 million dollar site sale price.  Superintendent Kevin Walston emailed the Board of Ed saying negotiations “collapsed” for the Summit site.  He noted that the Career Academy is still moving forward, and that the setback only affects the location on which students and teachers will sit.
