By the slimmest of margins, Madison’s City Council voted Tuesday night against a downtown project that partnered a fraternity house with a local developer.
The development paired historic renovation developer the Alexander Co. with the Acacia House, 222 W. Langdon St., in order to bring much-needed improvements to the historic building. The plan involved turning the house into a combined fraternity and apartment building and adding an 18-unit apartment building behind the historic building on a gravel parking lot.
