Join City of Madison staff to reimagine the future of the pedestrian plaza areas on Mifflin and Carroll Streets where State Street meets the Capitol Square. Mifflin Plaza (formerly known as Philosophers' Grove) will be redesigned and rebuilt after construction of the adjacent Wisconsin History Center is completed.  Similarly, other phases will follow as redevelopment occurs, including a new Wisconsin Veterans Museum.

The design process is expected to take approximately one year, with several future public meetings being held.

To get updates on this project and future meetings, sign up for the Downtown Area Plan Email List.
