Madison Wisconsin Badger School Building has been closed since 2007, but now hopes to be sold and turned into a world-class urban agriculture and green design campus.  The Madison-based Center for Resilient Cities has proposed buying the four-acre property and former Badger School building at 501 E. Badger Road from Dane County for $500,000.

The non-profit urban renewal organization plans to work with elected officials, businesses and residents in the Moorland-Rimrock and Southdale neighborhoods to redevelop the land for urban agriculture. The building will likely be refurbished as a community center with a focus on conservation education and alternative energy, and will have a rooftop greenhouse.
