Prior to voting on items for the museum, the commission unanimously passed other items that would create more housing and make a big change to the UW-Madison campus.
Under a demolition permit passed by the commission, an auto repair shop at 1233 Regent St. would be razed to build a $13 million, five-story, lower-cost housing project proposed by the Wisconsin Housing Preservation Corp. The redevelopment would have 50 units and 1,500 square feet of commercial space.
