Renovating the old MATC building downtown (that is currenlty a never ending eye sore) is not impossible. Its been done before, here is proof.
The old MATC building near the capital sporting Madison's favorite big hole is a never ending eye sore. Hasn't been used in years and years. People always say "Oh its impossible to renovate that building into apartments, can't be done"
Oh really? Look at this building it looks very very similar that the old MATC building. look at the beautiful apts they built with it.
