Gov. Evers Delivers for Dane County
Gov. Evers invested more than $5.2 million in Madison’s transit services. This money will help Madison residents get to work, school and job training, medical appointments, and other activities, especially low-to-middle-income residents, individuals with disabilities, and communities of color who disproportionately depend on public transit.
Gov. Evers directed more than $20 million in grant funding to Madison and Dane County to support local community development projects. Grant recipients included the Center for Black Excellence and Culture and the Bayview housing redevelopment.
Last summer, the governor visited Brix Cider in Mount Horeb, Landmark Creamery in Belleville, and Salvatore’s Tomato Pies in Madison to highlight how small businesses are bouncing back thanks to the We’re All In Grant Program, which is the largest direct-aid program for small businesses in WEDC history.
