MADISON, Wis. — South Madison residents got a closer look as to what the area will look like over the next few years.
Reason being is because it will be the site plan for the future Park Badger redevelopment which is located on land owned by the City of Madison between Hughes Place, Park Street and Badger Road that will be done in phases over several years.
Once completed, the area will house a new Madison Fire Department station, consolidated offices for Pubic Health of Madison & Dane County and hundreds of mixed-income homes spread throughout three buildings.
The plan introduced to the community Monday shows the tallest building along the Park Street transit corridor with seven floors of housing on top of the PHMDC location.
Each of the 180 homes in the largest building along Park Street would be reserved for people making 30% to 70% of Dane County’s Area Median Income. In layman’s terms, that would mean an individual making up to $61,740 per year would be eligible for units in that building, and a family of three could make up to a combined $79,380 and still be eligible. Rent for people living in the building would be capped at 30% of their income.
