MONROE — The City of Monroe has partnered with Main Street Monroe, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit handling community development in the community to host two forums on updates with the city’s Redevelopment Authority.

The first session will be 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 21. The second will be 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 26. Both will be held on the second floor of the Green County Courthouse.

Sessions will include the same 15 minute presentation from city staff regarding updates on a newly created district that encompasses the downtown and residential neighborhoods east of Wisconsin 69. Over 400 properties will be positively impacted as the city, through the RDA, creates new opportunities for the properties. Immediately following the presentation will be a question and answer session and open discussion. 

Staff is specifically looking for feedback from property owners.

“This is such a wonderful initiative that the city is undertaking, and it’s a really crucial time to hear from property owners, businesses in the district about what they see as their future needs. Our goal is to provide an opportunity to really shape the direction the RDA and its resources will be focused on as it gears up for the next two to five year chapter,” said Jordan Nordby, executive director for Main Street Monroe Inc. 

Questions about the sessions may be directed to Assistant City Administrator Sam Liebert, the city and Nordby. Food will be provided at both forums. Interested attendees are encouraged to RSVP by calling the Main Street office at 608-328-4023.
