Demolition Ordinance Revised

The twists and turns were many, but as of February 25, the City of Madison has a new demolition ordinance. Last month’s Advocacy News raised concerns whether the original draft of the proposed ordinance would make it more difficult for buildings with historic value to survive a demolition application. That dark outlook seems to be somewhat lighter due to the strong efforts from a wide range of historic preservation supporters.
