The City of East Lansing is willing to put forth some money to get a sobering center constructed. They are planning on working with the Lansing City Rescue Mission and hopefully others (hint: Lansing, Lansing Township) to get a place built. The use will be for individuals that don't need to go to the hospital or jail for their alcohol, just need to kill time to burn the alcohol off.
