Request for Information | Alliant Energy Center Mixed Use Development

The County of Dane is seeking input from the development community on potential uses and market considerations for areas designated for future mixed-use development at the Alliant Energy Center (AEC) campus. The AEC is a County-owned and -operated campus that hosts over 400 events and welcomes over 1,000,000 guests annually. The campus includes several facilities, including the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Exhibition Hall, Willow Island, New Holland Pavilions, and the Arena. The County is looking for insight on how to develop these areas to maximize their potential and create a vibrant and sustainable community. Some key points to consider include: • The AEC campus has a significant economic impact, generating over $80 million in revenue and supporting 1,700 jobs. • The County is planning to make significant capital investments in the Exhibition Hall and the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. • The development of the AEC campus should be guided by the County's sustainability principles, which aim to reduce the County's contribution to fossil fuel dependence, waste, and harm to the environment. • The County is looking for proposals that incorporate innovative and sustainable design principles, as well as a strong understanding of the local market and community needs.
