Danbury looks to sell contaminated property

The Danbury City Council has signed off on putting a City owned parcel of land out to bid.  The contaminated former Amphenol site is on East Franklin Street and was acquired by the City through the foreclosure process.  The 100,000-square-foot warehouse was $1.1 million behind in taxes when it was seized in 2019.  Councilman Ben Chianese says the request for proposals selection will not be done by the council, but rather the Board of Awards.  He was concerned that they won't know what the final bid was to make a final decision because the City doesn't know what the property is worth.  Deputy Corporation Counsel Les Pinter says the sale will come back to the Council after a selection has been made.  The property is zoned for light-industrial use.
