After many long months of debate over Madison 's annexation, the city almost doubled its size over the weekend by adding 13.2 miles around the city limits. There are an estimated 2,000 plus single family homes added, making a total of almost 10,000 new Madison residents.
Windsor Hills, Ingleside, Annandale , Fairfield , and Reunion are all among the annexed subdivisions. There were a few residents that fought against the annexation by taking their effort to court, but the state Supreme Court ruled in favor of the city proceeding with the annexation in April.
Madison has always been known for its southern hospitality and small town atmosphere. The city will still remain a smaller town near Jackson , Mississippi where there are bigger city amenities. Madison is also an international gateway to recreation, business and education.
The city has definitely grown from its humble beginnings into a city that is flourishing and is proud of its community. We love the city of Madison and hope the new additions to Madison come to love it, too.
