Silly people. Don't they know how old these buildings are? Can the township go ahead and approve the demolition anyway? Surely the people in charge have more common sense than the people complaining.
I can't understand why anyone would be encouraging them to leave up a huge, obsolete factory next door to them. Especially when they have an opprotunity to see the properties get redeveloped, even if not in the immediate future.
At the very least GM could put out an RFP, just for the off chance someone responds. Theres no excuse to hoard the property if someone out there could be willing to redevelop it.
It's too bad we're not responsible enough of adults who can clean up a piece of property when we're done with it. It seems like the city (or maybe state) should create laws about how the landscape is left when a company is done using it. It's not like they've gone out of business--they have money. Of course, businesses would then build elsewhere and we'd have less jobs than we do now. ....if only we could be responsible....
...On another note there's tons of activity at the Ultium battery plant site, the news article a couple months ago said they expected steel to go up in August and I don't doubt that they're on track for that given the amount of work going on.

This could be sort of interesting, an industry news magazine is reporting that the upcoming electric Corvette will be produced at the Grand River plant. If true it would be very promising for that plant and I think it bodes well for how GM feels about their Lansing operations.
