I was driving around yesterday while my little guy took a "car nap" and I came across two fairly heavily guarded (remote, armed gates, barbed wire) office buildings in north Ridgefield, just over the Danbury border. This was in the vicinity of shadow lake road, but these two complexes had their own satellite roads. Does anyone know what these two businesses/building are for/tenants?

This is Boehringer Ingelheim, a huge pharmaceutical company. They have quite the campus in Danbury.

Why so heavily protected? My sister backs up to the NSA building in McLean VA and it is probably less protected. I saw all sorts of no parking signs every 10 feet on certain roads in the vicinity in Ridgefield.

Pure conjecture, but maybe due to protests/threats? I know they do studies on animals.

The no parking signs could be because shadow lake is a pretty narrow winding road, and they dont want people hitting parked cars.
