“I look forward to building upon the recent successes within CityCenter Danbury and to further increase the positive momentum that is clearly visible throughout our Downtown," Prunty said in a statement. "I'm appreciative for the opportunity to work with the members of the CityCenter Board, staff, Downtown property owners and merchants, and residents to continue to make CityCenter Danbury the destination for business opportunities, arts and culture, dining and entertainment, and history buffs."
Prunty returns from a year at Empire State College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., where he served in the Office of the President.
In 2010, Prutny was hired as community services coordinator at Danbury City Hall. During his stint at City Hall he coordinated the Citizens' Government Academy, a three-month-long seminar educating the citizens of Danbury on municipal services, along with working in conjunction with the Hispanic Center of Danbury to educate recent United States citizens about local government matters.
He also managed the S.A.V.E. program (Seniors Add Valuable Experience), working side by side with the United Way of Danbury to help seniors volunteer within City Hall to receive property tax credits.
Prunty also sat on several community boards, representing the mayor: the Underage Drinking Prevention Council, Stand Together Make a Difference (substance abuse awareness), and CityCenter Danbury.
The 27-year-old stresses that the attraction of Danbury remains for him: "great potential," "enthusiastic people," and "diversity."
