Demographics

Madison has traditionally been an agricultural area and has sought to diversify and improve its economic status during the last several years. Several milestones mark the success of that venture, including construction of water and sewer facilities to three of the four interchanges. Madison has also undergone a visioning process and has established goals and benchmarks for the continued improvement of our community development.
