At its meeting, the Madison City Commission approved multiple license applications, authorized intent to seek up to $50 million in electric revenue bonds, awarded several contracts and approved airport grant applications and entitlement transfers.
The Madison City Commission approved a slate of licenses, resolutions, contract awards and grant applications at its meeting.
