The Preservation and Development Committee (P&D) deals with neighborhood development, affordable housing, historic preservation and city planning. Because the Marquette neighborhood is composed almost entirely of two historic districts (Third Lake Ridge and Marquette Bungalows), the committee puts great emphasis on preserving the unusual abundance of well-preserved and diverse historical building stock. Additionally, for both residential and commercial property, our neighborhood places a high importance on building space that is affordable for the greatest possible range of incomes. The P&D committee works with developers who want to build, restore, rehab or buy property, start a business, or who otherwise have development plans for the neighborhood. It also works with interested parties to ensure that development meets the needs of the neighborhood to the fullest extent possible. The committee relies on, and works to appropriately influence, City of Madison ordinances and neighborhood plans.
The Preservation and Development Committee does not review minor house alterations, garages and sheds. Those are reviewed by the Madison Landmarks Commission.
Preservation & Development meets 6:30 -8:00 pm on the second Tuesday of the month with additional meetings as needed. We meet a the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center, 504 S. Brearly St, Madison, WI 53703.
