Neighborhood, developer hashing out concerns over east Madison apartment project

A developer has big plans for a new apartment complex in a mostly industrial area on Madison’s east side, but the neighborhood is pushing back.

It’s not a case of “not in my backyard,” neighbors say. They’re fine with development on the site, but they argue the height and density of the project is too much.

The developer says they’ve already made a number of changes to accommodate neighbors, but agreed to delay their presentation to the city`s Plan Commission to continue to work with residents.
