The two organizations reportedly parted ways but did not provide a reason for ending the collaboration.
The redevelopment at 29 S. Mills St. had support from the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA), the city of Madison and Dane County. The center was actively fundraising for the roughly $29 million project, which would have razed the current one-story facility and replaced it with a five-floor building.
