Impact on the Neighborhood

The site plan for Troy Gardens reflects the desires of the surrounding neighborhood. Over the course of many meetings over a span of four years , From the beginning, neighborhood residents have had a central voice in the planning for Troy Gardens. This multi-year planning process was facilitated by the Northside Planning Council, which has played a crucial central role in saving the 26 acres at Troy Gardens as community open space, as well as helping to broker an agreement with the neighborhood to limit the housing density at Troy Gardens to 30 homes.

Troy Gardens provides many benefits to the Madison community, including:

• Permanently preserving 26 acres of urban open space;
• Providing inexpensive community gardening space for low income households;
• Providing nature education programming for young people;
• Providing locally-grown organic food;
• Providing 20 units of permanently affordable owner-occupied housing in a neighborhood with one of the highest concentrations of subsidized rental housing in the city; and
• Providing a barrier-free neighborhood of 30 homes and a community building that can be accessed by all, regardless of disability.
