Located around the intersection of Hall and Madison SE, this once overlooked neighborhood has been brought to life again with a thriving public/non-profit partnership between the City and Linc UP redeveloping the main commercial corridor. This incredible partnership has brought back neighbors and neighborhood small businesses to create a once-again thriving community. So excited to see what the next decade brings for Madison Square.
