A Town of Madison and City of Madison have existed for quite some time separately, however, come October 2022 the City of Madison and City of Fitchburg will absorb the Town of Madison. This process is called attachment, and in a nutshell, means some major changes for the roughly 6,300 people living within the Town of Madison boundaries, which is about 3.9 square miles of land. As part of an aggressive communication plan to connect with the residents impacted, this podcast episode will explain generally what attachment is, introduce resources and background that support the process to help those impacted understand how they can get answers as the process moves forward. City of Madison Planning Division Director Heather Stouder joins City of Madison Engineering Division Hannah Mohelnitzky for a conversation breaking down attachment as the City gets ready to welcome its newest residents.
