The location of the Third National Community Impact Assessment Conference was in the beautiful city of Madison, Wisconsin. The best of all worlds was to be found in Wisconsin's vibrant capital city and picturesque surrounding towns: natural beauty and outdoor recreation, stimulating cultural offerings, distinctive restaurants and shops, and an irreverent spirit of fun. Built on an isthmus between lakes Monona and Mendota, Madison is renowned for its beautiful scenery. A total of five area lakes and over 200 parks provide an abundance of year-round outdoor activities, from hiking, biking, swimming, and sailing along with cross-country skiing, snow sailing, and ice fishing. Urban culture, natural beauty, small town charm-the greater Madison area offers it all. A progressive, cosmopolitan city of over 200,000, Madison is home to the world-class University of Wisconsin, the seat of state government, and an eclectic, electric atmosphere that energizes any visitor's stay. Madison offers both small town charm and a range of cultural and recreational opportunities usually found in much larger cities. A host of picturesque communities, many retaining their strong ethnic heritage, surrounds the city. Also the home to the highly acclaimed University of Wisconsin-Madison, this area is bursting with exceptional attractions for visitors of all ages-and interests. There simply could not have been a better place for a conference that was focused on community issues. |
