 The city of Danbury has settled lawsuits to lower property taxes for five businesses. One of them just happens to be a stop-and-shop that's on the list of those scheduled to close in November. The settlements overall will reduce the city's commercial assessments by $19 million. That, of course, will impact the tax rolls. Other businesses benefiting include Ethan Allen, Hancock Hall, Lee Farm Corporate Park, and AMC Danbury 16.
