The University of Wisconsin-Madison could have more ties to the Village of Egg Harbor than just appearing in its Fourth of July parade in the future.  The school recently approved the proposal by the village to potentially become a UniverCity, a project which would employ UW-Madison faculty experts for a fresh look at the municipality’s plans for areas like social services, housing, economic development, and sustainability. Village Administrator Ryan Heise believes the university chose to move forward with Egg Harbor for a number of reasons.

If selected, Heise says Egg Harbor could join the UniverCity Alliance as soon as next year.
