In this case, the "Far West Side" is in the City of Middleton, which is not mentioned by name in the interview.

Founded in Chicago in 1900, Mead & Hunt relocated to Madison in 1904 and currently is ranked as Wisconsin’s largest engineering company, and was among the fastest-growing nationally every year from 2009 to 2013, according to the Zweig Letter’s Hot Firms list. 

In September, Mead & Hunt staff members will move into a three-story, $12 million headquarters being built by Newcomb Construction at 2440 Deming Way on the Far West Side, under a lease with an option to buy from owner/developer Livesey Company. At 60,000 square feet, the new building will be 50 percent larger than its current corporate home at 6501 Watts Road.

Now the State Journal comes clean.
