Madison City Council rejects industrial development
Residents and council members got a look at this rendering of a roundabout at Lions Club Road designed to prevent trucks from turning left toward Madison on Monticello Highway. CONTRIBUTED
To the surprise of very few, the Madison City Council rejected a zoning map amendment that would have paved the way for a Planned Industrial Development (PID) on 178 acres of property near the intersection of Monticello Highway and Lions Club Road, which is currently zoned I-2.
The specter of increased truck traffic in Madison appears to have been a major reason for the denial.
