Madison is a progressive city with a strategic Vision 2001 plan, spelling out the city's needs and hopes into the 21st century. The first phase of our Capital Improvement Plan has been completed and resulted in a new library, a new fire station, a new spacious recreation center, and a number of road and drainage projects. Concerned with the education of the next generation, this city's residents voted an additional 11 mil property tax on themselves to help pay for a new high school and a new elementary school. These have been constructed, and an additional elementary school, Heritage, is scheduled to open in August for the 1999-2000 school year. In October of 1997, the City Council voted to break away from the county school system and form a city system, which was inaugurated on July 1, 1998.
Plans call for an additional high school in the near future.
