Come join us on May 15 as we reflect on Sequoya Commons, which has been a cornerstone of our neighborhood for 16 years now. Despite initial controversy, the project received support from the majority of people in the neighborhood. The site continues to offer the same amenities that residents have come to enjoy, including a coffee shop, ice cream store, pizza restaurant, hair salon, and a public library. Additionally, it provides space on the upper floors for 100 apartments and 45 owner-occupied units, transforming what was once a wide-open surface parking lot. Could Sequoya Commons, with its diverse mix of apartments, retail, and condominiums nestled within established neighborhoods, serve as a blueprint for Madison’s housing shortage? With a scarcity of condo developments in recent years, despite their affordability and appeal to downsizers, why aren't we witnessing more projects in Madison akin to Sequoya Commons? All community members are invited to join this discussion, led by District 11 Alder Bill Tishler, to explore these questions and more.
