Good news. It's nice to hear of another association moving to downtown Lansing where it probably should have been for a long time. The proximity to politics, what they are in the business of, will help them and others who decide to move to Lansing.
I heard today that the State has some preliminary plans to build $100 million Secretary of State building, it is supposed to be State-built also. When I learn more I'll post it here.
They have a decent amount of the Treasury Building, about 1 & 1/2 floors, but their main office is in a building out at Secondary Complex. I don't know how much space they're looking for now, but about ten years ago they needed a minimum of like 250k sq ft. I figure the only two likely locations are just east of Constitution Hall or between the Ottawa/Hannah buildings and the hall of justice. Just FYI the info came third-hand, should be reliable though.
It most definitely was not a Holiday Inn originally. The Holiday Inn used to be what is behind the current Belle Tire just north of I-96.
I want to say it was a Days Inn originally, and at some point the two companies swapped buildings. I will try to come up with something corroborate this.
The LSJ today had a small photo spread on their front page saying the demolition of the burned-down building on Kalamazoo should be finished by the end of the week. Photos of the demolition can be found on lsj.com.
