UW-Madison plans to add 1,700-bed dorm through private developer
(The Center Square) – The University of Wisconsin-Madison is looking to expand its dorm capacity through a privately owned dorm on state land on campus that would require nearly $30 million in annual rent. The costs will be part of comparable housing costs for new students to add nearly 1,700 student beds to campus starting in fall 2029. The nearly $338 million dorms will be build by developer PRG Badger Properties with an option for the state to buy the building after 10 years at fair-market value. The new dorms will be built after Merit Hall, a small dorm of 72 beds, is demolished. The proposal passed the State Building Commission after it passed the Board of Regents and also must be approved by the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee. “Housing capacity has not kept up” associate vice chancellor for University Housing Jeff Novak said about the plan. Novak said that the last down to open was in 2013 and, since then, the university has added 2,000 freshmen and 8,000 total undergraduate students. He said that there would be no impact on tuition and no taxpayer funds would be used on the project. The university currently has 93% of its freshmen

Janesville launches street improvements off Highway 26 to spark Kwik Trip, McCormick Crossing devleopments
JANESVILLE — The city of Janesville is readying for more retail prospects on Milton Avenue, including a new Kwik Trip, by teeing up plans for new street extensions and other public improvements. The City Council will consider a memorandum of understanding between the city and DK Partnership, LLP, for public infrastructure extensions at McCormick Drive and Huntinghorne Drive, according to city meeting documents. The agreement outlines how the infrastructure would be designed, constructed and inspected, with the developer responsible for hiring a licensed civil engineer and city-approved contractors to complete the work. The plans outline the construction of a roundabout at the intersection of Mccormick and Huntinghorne drives. The city would review the plans, oversee construction through inspections and accept the improvements as public infrastructure once they meet municipal standards. The developer also would reimburse the city for engineering-related services, and, the city says in the memo, the approval process would not require out-of-pocket municipal spending for the development. “The infrastructure work could help create buildable lots for future commercial and residential projects in the area, which remains largely farmland,” it says within the memo. The Kwik Trip gas station and convenience store at 4700 Milton Ave. got the green
