The first economic development plan for Madison in the past 25 years is in the works. The plan focuses on “basic sector” jobs, including encouraging national companies to locate headquarters in the capital city, to draw investment and wealth here.
The Madison City Council unanimously approved the plan at its meeting this week.
….Recommendations in the plan include the ongoing rewriting of the city zoning code, establishing the second UW Research Park, reviving the east isthmus corridor as a center of employment and hiring an economic development director.
