TIF FOR ACS BUILDING

The Middleton Common Council on Jan. 15 approved The Carey Group’s request for $400,000 in developer-financed Tax Increment Financing (TIF). The deal is designed to attract Affiliated Construction Services (ACS) to a yet-to-be-built facility in the Good Neighbor City.

The Madison-based developer’s formal request for TIF, dated Jan. 2, said The Carey Group Real Estate Services, LLC is pursuing a 40,000 square foot build-to-suit development for ACS on Lot 19 within the Middleton Corporate Center. (The parcel is on the northwest corner of Nursery Drive and Deming Way.)

“In an effort to provide ACS with favorable economic terms and a level playing field relative to the competition, we are seeking city assistance through developer-funded TIF financing,” wrote developer Timothy Carey in a letter to city planner Eileen Kelley.

Cheating Allegations at MHS

Submitted by MTT News Desk on Thu, 01/02/2014 - 17:00

The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District re-administered a math test and plans to delve into some of its policies and procedures following allegations that students cheated on recent exams.

In a message sent to parents and guardians late last week, Middleton High School principal Denise Herrmann said the district recently discovered a calculus exam was “compromised.”

That exam, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, was re-administered after the district learned of the allegations.

“In response, we launched an investigation that included interviews with staff and students as well as a review of video footage,” wrote Herrmann. “We also received several letters from students and parents which provided additional information to the scope and severity of cheating on tests in courses across the curriculum.”

Chad N. Gehin has announced his candidacy for the City of Middleton’s District 4 aldermanic seat.

“I grew up in Middleton,” said  Gehin in a written statement announcing his candidacy. “My strong connections here give[s] it ... a special place in my heart.”

Gehin, the property manager at Springtree Apartments, is a Marine Corps veteran and has served overseas. He attended high school in Middleton.

“The 4th District is unique in Middleton,” he said. “We have a very diverse mix of people in our apartment community and residential homeowners.  I will work tirelessly to represent both.”
