LOGAN WROGElwroge@madison.comThe Madison Parks Commission has approved $1.6 million for remediation efforts after contaminated soil was discovered at the landmark Garver Feed Mill on the East Side.The commission voted 5-1 late Wednesday to approve financing and a development agreement to allow Baum Development to turn the crumbling Garver Feed Mill, 109 S. Fair Oaks Ave., into an artisan food production facility and add up to 50 “ microlodging ” units averaging 250 square feet for short-term rental on the surrounding five acres.The long-delayed plan had been complicated recently after the extent of soil contamination required further city investment.“The building is in very tough condition. It suffered, but it’s salvageable,” said Bryant Mo-roder, a project manager for Baum. “If we didn’t think it was going to be done, we wouldn ’t be here.”The $1.6 million to remove and cap the soil would need to be borrowed, and it requires a super-majority vote to be passed by the City Council. It would add to the $1.8 million the city intends to invest in the redevelopment.Council President Marsha Rummel, whose 6th District includes the site, said the building should be kept to preserve Madison’s history.
