Welcome to the website for The Villager Redevelopment Plan. The Villager Redevelopment Plan is part of a greater city planning initiative - the South Madison Neighborhood Plan. Through the development of the South Madison Neighborhood Plan,  the Villager Mall was identified as a redevelopment opportunity for South Madison. "This is an exciting time for The Villager and Madison's South Side," said Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz. "Years of hard work are leading to major reinvestments on and near Park Street. As part of those investments, the City recently purchased The Villager, and will host discussions on what the community wants The Villager to become."

The City is asking neighborhood residents and businesses to help determine the future of The Villager. The result will be the creation of a redevelopment master plan by early fall. This project builds off of efforts like the South Madison Neighborhood Plan, which suggested that The Villager be enhanced as the South Side's gathering place. The City has hired a group of architectural, planning, and engineering consultants to help with this project.
