April 2026 | Advocacy News Update

This month’s Advocacy News Update provides updated information about a major project that seeks to be part of the influx of massive residential buildings into Madison’s downtown. There have been delays in the approval process for “The Standard,” which is poised to occupy much of the 400 block of West Gilman Street, just off of State Street. April 13 is the date the Madison Plan Commission is scheduled to take up key demolitions that must occur before The Standard can be built as currently designed.
