Planners for Madison public market seek more money to prep project
Posted on June 9, 2010 in News
The private development team behind what would be a privately operated Madison public market is asking the city for $100,000 to plan the project.
The city already has given that Madison-based team — composed of Common Wealth Development Inc., Blue Planet Partners LLC and NorthStar Economics Inc. — $160,000 to study locations and viability for a public market.
“It feels like a sales job,” Alderman Michael Schumacher said. “Are we just giving money to keep Common Wealth in business?”
Representatives from Common Wealth and Blue Planet did not return calls for comment.
