Common Council

Voit Farm Development, Well 15, Parks Alive - D15 Update 6/27/22

Development Project Updates 

The Common Council approved the proposal for Monona Drive/Cottage Grove Road last week. Demolition is planned for this fall/early winter with site prep and construction beginning in spring 2023. A new development proposal for 219 N. Fair Oaks will also be presented to the public at a meeting on July 7. I will share additional details on that proposal in a future post.

Parks Alive Worthington Park/Darbo

On Tuesday, from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Parks Alive will be at Worthington Park. Parks Alive is a collaborative effort across multiple City departments and involves many community-based stakeholders and mobile resources. Parks Alive is a great opportunity for residents to come out to local parks, build community, strengthen relationships, and have fun! You can find more information here. 

Voit Farm Redevelopment Public Meeting #1

You're invited to a neighborhood meeting on Thursday at 7pm, where Starkweather Creek, LLC, the partnership consisting of Threshold Development and Stone House Development, will introduce themselves to the neighborhood as they begin the process of developing the Voit site. Their master planner will be present at the meeting. The intent of the meeting is to hear from the neighborhood. The meeting will be held virtually with an option to connect virtually from the Pinney library meeting room. You can register for the virtual meeting at: www.cityofmadison.com/MeetingJune30VoitFarm 

Well 15 Public Information Meeting and Listening Session

Also on Thursday, the Madison Water Utility will share an update on the current status of municipal Well 15, including information on an upcoming PFAS treatment project. This will be the first of several chances for members of the public to provide input on this project and to express any opinions, concerns or recommended priorities. The meeting will be held at the East Madison Community Center from 6:30-8:00 p.m. You can find more info here.
