Demolition has started on Danbury Hall at the Fairfield Hills campus in Newtown.  The Newtown Bee reports that the workers started tearing down the building Monday morning.  The project is intended to open the sightlines of the complex from Wasserman Way. 

The project cost of $511,000 also covered hazardous materials abatement, but was originally supposed to also include demolition of 8 single-family former staff homes. 

Additional funding was needed for asbestos removal, which changed the scope of the project.
