When Plans Come Together: The Transformation of the Odana Corridor

Join me and Planning Division staff at 6 p.m. on October 21 for a virtual meeting on one of the most rapidly redeveloping areas in Madison.

• Some individual development projects briefly receive substantial media attention; others, very little or none.
• Some Common Council actions briefly receive media attention while others do not.
• Yet, with the benefit of hindsight, we can see that the cumulative impact is dramatic.
• As recently as 2020, the area bound by Mineral Point Rd on the north, the Beltline on the south, West Towne Mall on the west, and Westgate Mall on the east, was overwhelmingly retail, office, and laboratory territory.
• Five years later, over 2,500 housing units have been built, are being constructed, or are in the planning stage. Much more is likely.

On October 21 we’ll explore how a series of plans, investments, and incentives have energized this transformation.
