DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING

Revised Proposal to Redevelop/Renovate the Edgewater Hotel

MADISON - Ald. Bridget Maniaci, District 2, and Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, are holding a neighborhood meeting for residents to learn about and give feedback on a revised proposal by Hammes Company to redevelop/renovate the Edgewater Hotel. The proposed project would restore the current hotel, remove the top level of the 1973 hotel addition to create a 35,500 square foot traffic circle and landscaped terrace, and construct a 14-story hotel addition (of which eight stories would be above grade) on the east side of the property. The entire project would include approximately 190 hotel rooms. The revised plans may be viewed at:
