The City Council is expected to consider a June vote on the proposed $99 million career academy during a virtual meeting on Monday. This new school serving students in middle and high school would be built within three “pods” of the Summit, a mixed-use development in the 1.2 million-square-foot former Union Carbide world headquarters on the city’s west side. A virtual meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday evening where public comments submitted from residents will be read. To submit feedback about the academy, residents should email comments@danbury-ct.gov with their full name and address by 5 p.m. Monday. The meeting will be streamed on YouTube. The council will meet virtually at 8 p.m. to consider the mayor’s request for a vote to be held on the project on June 15. Danbury is racing to meet the state’s deadline for a grant that would cover 80 percent of the academy’s cost. Plus, $2.4 million of city costs would be covered by money the council approved last year for school projects.
