Friday, Aug 16, 2024, 3:00pm to 6:00pm

Help shape the South Madison Investment Strategy! Staff from the UW Population Health Institute are talking with residents of south Madison about things the City is doing to preserve the look and feel of south Madison while it grows.  We want to hear resident experiences and opinions about changes that are coming to South Madison.  

Is this worth my time? How does it benefit me? By telling SoMa what is working and what is not, you can help shape City-led investments in the area to ensure it stays affordable and feels like home to our Black and Brown communities. Participants will receive money for their participation. 

Who should participate? People that live in the Bram's Addition, Capitol View, or Burr Oaks neighborhoods and the mobile home park. 

Questions? Concerns? Want to be interviewed? Contact SoMaRise@pophealth.wisc.edu, or 347-915-3711
