  • Yeah, a hotel and a mid-level restaurant like Chili's would be real nice right there.
  • It's nice to see some of the vacant land get some use there. I still hope to see some mixed development go in place on that land, it's a great central location.

    My Google Analytics account is showing that the site was down from around November 15th to December 4th, which happened to be terrible timing since that coincided with me moving :( Traffic is increasing back to its previous levels before the site went down, where it was averaging just under 30 visits per weekday and is now averaging just under 20 visits per weekday. I place some of this on the low activity of the site, I'll try posting more development news as I come across it. I also agree that some people may have seen the site down and thought it was never coming back :(
  • I'm still around. I'm not local any more so I don't have anything to contribute, but I check in every few days to see if any new news has popped up.
  • I'm still here. Was surprised there for a few days though.
  • I figured out what it was the other day. I was stupid and used the server to host some backup files while I was moving, and that caused my disk usage to go over the limit, which must have stopped the site from working. Sorry about that :-/
  • This could explain the recent activity near the Grand River plant: GM to Move Camaro Production to Lansing
  • I would think that site work, especially any environmental work would need to begin very soon for production to begin in 2-3 years. I'm assuming that a moderate expansion will be needed for this and I would think it will be towards MLK. At 70k units the Camaro would almost double the current production there , so I'm really curious to see what they do.
  • I think it will use the existing line, at least mostly. However, they added on 120k sq ft to accommodate the much lower production ats. For the Camaro they'll probably add a 3rd shift and need at least a few hundred thousand square feet of new space, if not something more significant. They'll also need more parking and staging areas.

    BTW, when it comes to the work along MLK, I was more or less assuming this may be the very beginning of environmental work and/or foundation removal. Just getting the site to the point of being buildable will take a lot of work.
  • Buddy of mine who used to work at the mall said this is going in the old Mervins anchor location.
  • It's pretty awesome to see such development progress since the last time I logged in. I wonder how the new theater will affect the existing Goodrich theater. I'd hate to see one open just to close down the other.

    I've noticed the expanding parking at LCA also, I drive by it every day on my way in to work. Regardless of the reason, the lot looks a hell of a lot better than the crumbling weed jungle that was there prior and I look forward to future ACTUAL development to the site.
