Public Information Meeting: Housing Forward Proposals, Wednesday, July 2: Three new proposals being introduced by the mayor and several members of the Common Council, including me, aim to make it easier to build the types of smaller homes that we used to build across Madison and already see in many of the City’s more established neighborhoods. This virtual public information meeting will be held to present an overview of the proposals introduced earlier this month.
