Danbury 2020: The Year In Business

DANBURY, CT — A story about the year in business for 2020 is a story — like so many of the others — about the coronavirus, and therefore unpleasant. It's a story of shutterings and shutdowns, of furloughs and firings.

But in Danbury, the 2020 gloom was lit periodically by sparks from the unlikeliest of candles: a scrappy alternative energy manufacturer continued to defy the odds, a high-tech medical facility promises plenty of new jobs, and a deli serving up Portuguese comfort food won high marks.

Here are 15 of the top business stories from Danbury in 2020.
