Neighborhood Meeting on the Völker Development Proposal & Deon’s Live Bait License Renewal, Monday, August 5, 2024

A neighborhood meeting to hear more about the Völker Development proposal is scheduled for Monday, August 5, 2024, at 6pm in the Bloom Bake Shop space at Northstreet, 557 North Street. After the development team’s presentation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback.

Background: Völker Development proposes to redevelop the properties located at 2430, 2434 & 2450 E. Washington Avenue, and 10 & 16 N. 7th Street. The existing structures would be demolished, and a new, five-story multifamily building would be constructed. The new building would be comprised of one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Surface parking plans include 76 automobile stalls and 84 bike stalls. The proposal is a Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) affordable housing project.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Madison Petroleum LLC, owner of Deon’s Live Bait and Minnows located at 2301 Commercial Avenue, was unable to submit their Class A Beer License renewal paperwork by the deadline. As a result, they have now applied for a new Class A Beer Li-cense so they may continue selling beer at the convenience store. If you’d like to hear more about the license application, or if you have questions or feedback to share, there will be an opportunity to do so at the Monday, August 5, 2024, neighborhood meeting about Völker Development proposal to redevelop the properties located at 2430, 2434 & 2450 E. Washington Avenue, and 10 & 16 N. 7th Street. The neighborhood meeting is scheduled for 6pm in the Bloom Bake Shop space at Northstreet, 557 North Street.
