Event Description:
By 2050, the Greater Madison region is projected to reach 1 million residents, an increase of 300,000 people from today. During a panel we convened in November 2023, Dane County's mayors agreed that housing is the defining problem for our region. To accommodate the influx of new residents we are expecting in the coming years and decades, we must increase access to a diverse supply of workforce housing.
At our next Advocacy in the A.M. on Dec. 4, we will welcome a panel representing developers, planning experts, Realtors, elected officials and local economic development officials to discuss how we got to now, explore the current landscape and address how we can best tackle housing challenges around explosive population growth in Greater Madison.
The panel will feature:
- Helen Bradbury, Founder, Stone House Development
- Julia Arata-Fratta, Mayor, City of Fitchburg
- Olivia Parry, Senior Planner, Dane County Planning and Development Department
- Kurt Paulsen, Professor of Urban Planning, UW–Madison Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture
- Robert Procter, Government Affairs Director, REALTORS® Association of South Central Wisconsin
- Matt Wachter, Director, City of Madison Department of Planning, Community & Economic Development
