A multinational electrical equipment manufacturer that made headlines in February with $10 million plans to expand its westside headquarters has withdrawn its application to a city land use commission in order to redesign the blueprints. The 200,000-square-foot Danbury plant, which Belimo built on 34 hilltop acres in 2014, serves as the headquarters for its operations in Brazil, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America and the United States. Whether the Switzerland-based company comes back with an expansion plan similar to the 33,000-square-foot warehouse addition Belimo proposed in February remains to be seen. As far as Danbury City Hall is concerned, leaders say they “fully expect” Belimo to reapply for expansion permission. “Belimo is committed to ensuring that their expansion here in Danbury lays the foundation for long-term success and accommodates all their needs,” said Farly Santos, Mayor Roberto Alves’ economic and community development adviser. “Mayor Alves and his administration stand ready to support their growth, fostering continued prosperity for both Belimo and our community.”
