FITCHBURG – A land restoration and preservation alternative to a subdivision development in Fitchburg’s northeast corner is gaining momentum.
At a Tuesday meeting that drew about 70 people, the West Waubesa Preservation Coalition detailed its plan to turn the 800-acre “Northeast Neighborhood” area, bordered by U.S. 14, Larson Road and Nine Springs Creek, into an agricultural mini-community of residences, community gardens, wetlands research areas, and a charter school oriented to farming and food.
…the plan includes an indoor-outdoor farmer’s market near Highway MM, where UW-Madison marketing students would get practice coordinating sales.
