MADC - About Us
MADC was originally formed in the late 1970's to begin Middleton's economic development efforts, however, our nation's tough economic times of the mid 1980's forced the group to cease operations. Things changed, and our economy improved, and beginning in 2000, recognizing the need and opportunity to help grow Middleton, MADC was reincorporated, and in 2003 a new agreement between MADC and the City of Middleton was created that still exists today.
Today, MADC Board members all share a common goal of growing Middleton and surrounding area, by providing a variety of loan opportunities to facilitate economic development in our area.

Middleton and MADC - Good For Business
Simply put, Middleton is just a great little community. A great place to work, a great place to live, and a great place to be from.
Middleton is calls itself the Good Neighbor City, it is a a description that applies not only for the people who live in the city, but also the relationships with the businesses and corporations located in the city as well. Middleton is the corporate headquarters for companies like Spectrum Brands, American Girl, Fiskars International, and Electronic Theatre Controls in part because it combines geographic availability, attractive incentives and a willingness to work in partnership to grow with each other. In concert with this, Middleton offers a quality lifestyle of living, dining, retail, and recreational opportunities for its citizens, and employees of these companies.
The opportunities are not limited only to large corporations, and at MADC we work with all size businesses interested in expansion within, or relocating to Middleton. The city of Middleton offers much more that similar size cities of 20,000 residents, and from a business and economic development perspective, the Middleton Area Development Corporation is a key attribute making it better than most.
MADC Featured Project: Middleton Municipal Airport/Morey Field Terminal Building
One of MADC’s earliest projects was building a new airport terminal at Middleton Municipal Airport/Morey Field. The construction of the terminal provided space for a fixed based operator (FBO) to service the local airport. This facility included offices, a service area, training and conference rooms along with room for an outside tenant. This was an early example of MADC’s ability to collaborate with the City to enhance the economic base. Today the airport terminal at Morey Field serves a growing and diverse part of our community. The airport features a 4,000 ft. long primary runway airport and 43 individual hangar buildings—one with ten individual units and one with eight. A master planning process is under way to study the potential for expanding runways and developing a new cluster of hangars.
