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. Wisconsin State Journal |

Abilene Independent School District is considering a sale of the building known for its gothic revival architecture near the center of the city. Most recently it housed Lincoln Middle School, but now it’s vacant and the frequent target of vandals. The original bronze dedication plaque designed by architect David S. Castle has been stolen. Last year the Abilene Preservation League placed it at the top of a list of preservation opportunities in Abilene. The executive director of the APL, Bill Minter, called it a “pivotal piece of property.” http://www.reporternews.com/news/2009/sep/16/lincolnsale/ |

Winona Area Public Schools board has said it may announce plans to close one or several of its elementary schools later this year. But Bob Sebo, chairman of the Winona branch of the Minnesota Heritage Preservation Commission, has suggested studying whether any of the schools - Washington-Kosciusko, Jefferson, Central and Madison - are worthy of historical protections.
