Madison Downtown Development Commission

Following a study by Project for Public Spaces, and funded by a grant from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Madison Downtown Development Commission was created in 1981. The DDC membership consists of 20 regular members, three alternate members, and the Downtown Manager. Membership is town-wide and consists of public officials, owner-merchants, tenant-merchants, resident non-commuters, resident commuters, and representatives from the local colleges, news media, banks, non-profis and corporations.

The DDC meets at least 11 times a year with the time and place of the monthly meetings fixed annually by resolution of the Commission. The purpose of the Commission is:

1. To study the future of the Central Business District and the East Business District in regard to their economic growth and development.

2. To develop plans for the redevelopment of the Business Districts.

3. To advise the downtown community on improvements requiring private sector action.

4. To advise the Mayor and Council on improvements requiring local government action.

5. To coordinate redevelopment activities in the Business Districts and foster closer working relationships between all interested segments of the Madison community.

6. To analyze and plan for the impact on the Business Districts of potential redevelopment in other areas of the borough.

There are four Standing Committees that submit reports on a monthly basis. The Standing Committees are Parking/Redevelopment, University Relations, Public Improvements and Sign & Façade.
