The Economic Development Committee is holding its only public hearing on this topic tonight at the Monona Terrace Hall of Ideas. Here’s the background info you might be interested in! No shortage of opinions here!
For those of you looking for the background materials and information about the development process, here’s a compilation of everything I could find and hopefully I got it all right. Comments can still be submitted to pyessa@cityofmadison.com if you want to contribute to the discussion!

As always, let me know if I missed something! And I’ll keep updating as we go along . . .
It’s a shame that this is at the same time as the joint public hearing on the recommendations of the Community Services Committee and CDBG Commission for community resources funding (5:30 pm at the Labor Temple). Where are the neighborhoods supposed to go?
No kidding, you’d think that the Department of Planning, and Community and Economic Development would have noticed that Community Development and Economic Development have a public hearing on the same night . . . but I guess that is an indication of how well they work together. Working on a post on the winners and losers for Community Development, but the information the staff provides is not easy to work with.
