Danbury Public Housing Development Set for $2.1 Million Makeover

DANBURY, CT — The Fairfield Ridge apartments is set to be revamped, thanks to a $2.1 million grant approved by the State Bond Commission Wednesday.

The funding will assist with the rehabilitation of the development's 58 units, as part of a state-sponsored Housing Portfolio Revitalization Initiative, announced Rep. Bob Godfrey. The development is owned by the Danbury Housing Authority, and has been standing since just after World War II.

“I’m very pleased to see this investment in Danbury’s housing stock. Fairfield Ridge is our longest-standing public housing development, and we want it to serve working families for years to come,” Godfrey said in a statement.

“This is great news for the City of Danbury,” said Rep. David Arconti (D-Danbury). “There are many updates needed at Fairfield Ridge and renovations are necessary to improve the neighborhood. When completed, it will offer welcome opportunities for affordable homes.”
