SMBA May 2014 Meeting

It was a pleasure to have Dan Kennelly of the City of Madison as our featured presenter at SMBA's May meeting!  Dan briefly touched on the Public Market and where that project stands, and also informed the group of the City of Madison's Economic Development Strategy.  It was a very interesting topic, and we hope to have Dan back periodically with more updates on the City of Madison.

Our featured member of the month was Tom Johnson of Kavanaugh Restaurant Supply.  Thanks for sharing more about your business and services!

SMBA April 2014 Meeting

April's lunch meeting was very well attended, and we had some great speakers!  Sandy Riley of Upper Iowa University was our featured member speaker, and Frank Staniszewski of Madison Development Corporation, a local non-profit, was our featured presenter.  He spoke to the group about redevelopment plans in South Madison and how they are serving the community by demolishing old, run-down homes and putting up new, energy efficient income-based housing.
