Where some of Madison’s capital projects now stand
Madison’s rapid growth has prompted the need for several new capital projects throughout the city. An update on several of those projects was released by the city recently, with many of these projects completing soon.
Here’s a look at the progress on some of these capital projects:
Fire stations on Celtic Drive + Town Madison
The Celtic Drive station project, a $250,000 project, still has several steps moving forward. According to city officials, the next steps include:
- Installation of storage racks
- Christmas Inventory
- Toyota Field Inventory
- Library Inventory
- Archived Files
The new Animal Control Building for this station is another aspect of the project, which may be funded through the sale of the Sullivan St. fire station.
Bidding for the planned fire station at Town Madison is scheduled to begin in March. The office will be ready for move-in by the end of the year, while the fire station itself will be done in 14-16 months.
Community Center
The new Community Center at the former Three Springs facility on Brownsferry Road is 55 percent complete, according to the city’s report.
The city has spent $6.6 million of the project’s $11.8 million budget. The center is expected to open in August 2024.
Adult Sports Complex
The new Hexagon sports complex will include softball and baseball fields, pickleball courts and more. The city has already spent $519,000 of the project’s $1 million budget.
Updates to the capital project:
- Field lights upgrade and conduit replacement to be completed in March 2024
- Softball field fencing replacement to be completed March 2024
- Lights on pathway from Public Safety Annex to courts to be completed Summer 2024
