Large subdivision eyed next to Middleton's Pleasant View golf course. (Capital Times, 8/19/2013)
Excerpt: Plans call for an assortment of residential neighborhoods situated around a working farm. Developers hope to break ground in 2014 with homes built over the next half-dozen years.
"We're still in the early stages on a lot of this," says Jane Grabowski-Miller of Erdman Real Estate Holdings.
Billed as "new ruralism" — a twist on the planning concept of "new urbanism" — the Erdman project would encompass undeveloped land between U.S. Highway 14 and the golf course, which the city purchased in 1995.
