Middleton Hills, WI

A land use change was approved to put a 45,000 square foot supermarket in the town center of Middleton Hills, a traditional neighborhood development (TND) in Middleton, Wisconsin (see October/November 2003 New Urban News). Now the developer must get site plan and design approval. The supermarket has been a contentious issue. Some citizens are in favor of the store, but many others are strongly opposed. The store has been designed so that liner shops front the main street, hiding most of the back and one side of the large building.
