Andrea’s commitment to downtown Danbury is unquestionable. Her passion is,  in fact, contagious and the reason I myself have become more involved in revitalization efforts. In addition to bringing vibrant art and cultural events to the heart of our city, she has worked tirelessly to foster business and community engagement. Undoubtedly, Andrea is an integral part of downtown Danbury’s rebirth and future.

Co-Founder Danbury Innovation Center
Andrea Gartner, a vanguard to downtown development, was instrumental in supporting the Danbury Innovation Center early on.  Andrea utilized her multiple talents and resources to help us launch – a project that took months before our doors opened just 3 years ago.  She was an early team player in starting the spring and fall Danbury STEAM Fairs which now brings more than 2,400 people to CityCenter twice a year. We are excited to be part of the Downtown Danbury Renaissance and, today, we have more than 75 members who work and create businesses on Main Street, turning CityCenter into a major focal point and economic driver for the region!
