Downtown Madison is in the midst of a mini-boom in hotel construction. The city is contemplating funding a massive project next to Monona Terrace in hopes of boosting the convention business. Another hotel is being proposed at the site of the old Pahl Tire, 202 E. Washington. The Edgewater Hotel is under renovation. A hotel is now being constructed on West Johnson Street. But how many hotels does downtown need?
Isthmus reporter Joe Tarr reports on the growth in hotel development in the May 30 issue and discussed his story with WORT producer Dylan Brogan on the same day's installment of In Our Backyard.
