“From our smallest towns and villages and our state’s largest cities, affordable housing is the number one issue I hear most about across the state,” Gov. Tony Evers said at a news conference.
The Blueprint
- Madison’s Triangle neighborhood to get up to 1,200 new housing units.
- First phase replaces Brittingham Apartments with 164 units.
- Project includes geothermal systems, green building standards.
- Community input shaped design; pedestrian and bike access planned.
Leo’s notes: The Triangle redevelopment marks one of Madison’s most ambitious commitments to affordable housing in decades. By replacing outdated public housing with up to 1,200 modern, mixed-income units—and doing so without displacing current residents—the city is setting a precedent for equitable, community-driven development. Coupled with green design and strong resident engagement, this project demonstrates how long-term planning and public-private partnerships can deliver both affordability and neighborhood vitality.
