Profile, Statistics and Indicators
Neighborhood Description: The Campus Area Neighborhood Association (CANA) is a nonpartisan, grassroots, and not-for-profit group that meets monthly on the first Monday at 6 p.m. CANA's purpose is to foster civic engagement, build community power, and advocate for all people of the UW campus area. From time to time, local developers, and public safety officials can consult with CANA as a local entity prior to presenting their development or proposal to the City of Madison. Such a norm allows CANA to serve as a vehicle for its people to speak on the shape, character, and future of their neighborhood. Historically, the State-Langdon Neighborhood Association was first formed in 1979. After many years of inactivity, it was reactivated in 2008, after which it was revived once again in July 2020.
