Danbury looks to give honorary names to ACE building, street

A recommendation is being made to the Danbury City Council tonight to add honorary names to the Alternative Center for Excellence building and the street where it's located.  Both would be in honor of ACE's late founder Joe Pepin, who served as principal for over 20 years.  The school is located on Roberts Avenue between 9th Avenue and Locust Avenue, but has a Locust Avenue postal address.  The committee is recommending that an honorary or secondary name be added to Roberts Avenue of Joe Pepin Way, and that the ACE building be called the Joseph Pepin Memorial Building.  Roberts Avenue was named after a Connecticut governor.  The ACE school would retain its name.  Corporation Counsel Les Pinter  noted that there are no houses with Roberts Avenue addresses between 9th and Locust.  This is a one-off until an ad hoc to establish a formal process for renaming buildings or streets is created.
