Monona Marketplace

The City of Monona has a robust commercial/business sector for a city of its size.  Rich with economic possibilities and public amenities, the city of Monona is home to roughly 8,000 residents.  With no additional land to annex, Monona is landlocked by Lake Monona and the City of Madison forcing the city to be creative with its space and planning strategy.

Today, Monona boasts to having over $25 million in development at the current time, and the City is thriving with new projects.  Menards is currently completing a remodel of their buidling, including the addtion of a new drive-thru warehouse.  UW Health plans to begin construction on its new Yahara Family Medicine Clinic this fall.  The Aldo Leopold Nature Center has broken ground on an expansion of its facilites to add a Climate Change Classroom and Interactive Laboratory bringing state-of-the-art educational opportunities for the 21st century.  Wisconsin Physcians Service (WPS) is the City's largest employer, and Walmart Super Center has made its mark as the City's second largest employer. 

Heritage of Monona Senior Housing Complex, located on Owen Road, opened its facilities last fall.  The complex includes 232 Units of Independent Living Space for Seniors.

In addition to the above development, the City is undertaking a major reconstruction of its "Main Street," Monona Drive.  The project is a complete overhaul of the existing infrastructure and includes the replacement of all water and sewer mains, the undergrounding of utility lines, the addition of medians with turn lanes, sidewalks, and bike lanes, the replacement of all lighting, over 6,000 new plantings (including 245 new trees), and the paving of the entire road.  The project is scheduled to be completed in three phases.  Phase I, from Broadway to Nichols/Pflaum Road will be completed this fall.

 All in all, the City of Monona has a thriving marketplace.  We encourage you to check it out.
