In May of 2005 the City applied for a Dane County BUILD Grant to develop a plan for revitalizing the Allen Boulevard corridor of the City.  This area of Middleton is facing several challenges, including: increasing traffic, a lack of pedestrian friendliness, and several residential and commercial vacancies, the most noticeable of which are the recent closure of two grocery stores.  The City, wanting to be proactive in ensuring that this highly visible corridor remains not only viable for businesses, but vibrant as well, asked for $20,000 in BUILD Grant money.  The County awarded Middleton the grant in July of 2005.  The City will provide an additional $5,000 in matching funds for the planning project.  The City has selected a consultant (Vierbicher Associates) to provide planning services for the BUILD Grant area. A steering committee consisting of area property owners, businesses, and City and consultant staff has been formed to guide the planning process.  The final plan should be completed by Fall 2006.

The Dane County BUILD Grant program was established in 1998 by County Executive Kathleen Falk.  Its objectives are to:

● Make better use of existing infrastructure.
● Locate community services, jobs and shopping in close proximity.
● Stabilize and enhance existing neighborhoods, downtowns, and other business districts.
● Produce housing and jobs for low to moderate-income people.
● Avoid converting productive farmland on urban fringes and in rural area.
● Provide viable options to auto trips by supporting walking, biking, and transit.

● Have the potential to clean up environmentally contaminated sites.

It also integrates eight "Great Neighborhood Principles" that outline goals for areas that receive BUILD Grant funds: a compact and walkable layout, a hierarchy of interconnected streets, an identifiable neighborhood/community center and edge, a variety of housing choices within the same neighborhood, a diverse mix of activities (residences, shops, schools, workplaces and parks, etc.) occur in proximity, a range of transportation options, pedestrian-friendliness, and open spaces, greens, parks, should be accessible and convenient to all.

The City will strive to achieve the above objectives in its plan while also integrating the "Great Neighborhood Principles."
