Possible Lansing & East Lansing merger?

Jared

I think that the annexation of Lansing Township should happen before East Lansing is merged. Lansing Township is completely going against the regionalism that the two cities are working towards.

"but the 4 pieces between Lansing and East Lansing need to be merged with the respective cities. "



Agreed

But West Saginaw near the mall is still nice and by I-96 its really booming. The areas near the factories has been on hard times for awhile now.

Definately agree. Really Saginaw is falling apart all the way to just east of the mall. Delta Twp is feeling the crunch from Eastwood/northern tier, Holt and itself, further to the west. They really are going to have to do something with the eastern part of their township.

Interesting, I remember discussions about this topic. Always came to thought why the two cities didn't merge, I don't see how it could be a bad ideal.

I know this is an old thread, but I think a merger between the two cities would save money with less overhead (one pd and f.d.). I do not think the schools should be merged. I think a lot of these townships that border the cities should be annexed as well.
