Plan Commission OKs demolition of former Bancroft Dairy, homes for clinic

The former Bancroft Dairy that has been closed for a decade and eight South Side residential structures will be demolished as part of a redevelopment project to include a medical clinic, the city?s Plan Commission decided Monday night. The commission also recommended rezoning of the triangular parcel bounded by Fish Hatchery Road, South Park Street and Midland Street, vacating a public right-of-way segment on High Street that cuts through the parcel and a three-lot certified survey map of the subject property. The matter will go to the City Council next month. The proposed $25.2 million project would be a catalyst for significant change in the neighborhood and provide a transformational clinic to replace the Wingra Family Medical Center, said Al Fish, vice chancellor of facilities planning and management at UW-Madison. Fish said the goal is to begin operations at the new clinic within the next year.
