Neighborhood Meeting Concerning

*Four-Season Public Market/Possible Brayton Lot Location*

7:00 pm, Tuesday, February 20, 2007

St. Patrick’s Church, 404 E. Main St., Parish Hall Basement

Common Wealth Development, Inc. and Blue Planet Partners, Inc., two non-profits in our community, in cooperation with the City of Madison, Dane County, the Madison Community Foundation, and a number of other nonprofits are proposing to bring a four-season public market to Madison. (You can read more about the Public Market in the attached brochure.) They have been working for approximately 18 months on a wide set of issues including potential sites. A number of these potential locations are on E. Washington Avenue, with the Brayton Lot being a strong candidate site. The non-profits are now at the stage of the project where they must begin to find the right home for the market and would like to get the community engaged early in the process.

The purpose of this meeting is to brief the community on the project, discuss steps to date, get the community’s initial input on the project, and discuss key next steps. The meeting will be facilitated by First Settlement neighbor, Bert Stitt. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me:
