Broadview Farm Chosen As High School Site
The Danbury Board of Education and town leaders agree Broadview Farm is the only practical site for a new high school due to crowding and double sessions. Broadview, near Hospital and Locust avenues, spans about 100 acres, with plans for two more years before any town meeting on the project. A $500 annual scholarship plan is tied to ongoing fundraising efforts to support the Claflin Memorial Scholarship.
