That's a smart move to swap out the plywood. Once they put up plywood they need to put up scaffolding pretty quick to avoid the look of an abandoned building.
Seems like Lansing is starting to grow in a positive way.... same for Grand Rapids. Anyone know where I can find a site similar to this for Grand Rapids, Michigan. Just would like to see what all they have plan.
The only Grand Rapids forum I know of is on a site called Urban Planet, GR just has a section for themselves on there, it's pretty active though. Lansing also has a section, but there are rarely posts.
Does anyone know what kind of tax breaks East Village got to begin with? It's still my opinion that East Village is a very poor design, in both site plan and architecture, it's especially bad considering the location and target market it. I think it would have been much better off if it were designed more like Ottawa @ Butler.
This was discussed on here before, the Michigan police memorial thats supposed to go along Allegan, by the Vietnam Memorial. I emailed for an update and said that they are waiting on a commitment from some "large corps," for funding. She also specified that there will be 21 glass panels 8' tall and 4" thick.
That would be really cool about the wind generators on high-rises. It seems like the biggest hurdle would be air-rights to make sure that no adjacent properties can build taller and block the view of the wind turbine.
I like that the BWL is putting them up, even if it is just symbolic, because what is symbolic today should generate normality for the future.

Really? Another Tim Hortons? The ones they already built don't seem to be doing that great if business, and that location isn't even very good.
