The Madison City Council on Tuesday is expected to approve the final master plan for redevelopment of the Villager Mall. Two years in the making, the ambitious plan calls for tearing down much of the existing center and constructing a new “Main Street” running through the middle of the 9-acre property.
….The site now hosts the South Madison Health and Family Center, also known as “Harambee”; outlets for UW-Madison, Madison Area Technical College and Edgewood College; a city library branch; Yue Wah Oriental foods, and other smaller retailers. Plans call for maintaining that unique blend of uses, plus adding residential housing to the mix.
