The lawsuit over the Saboury development in Old Town might get settled. An article posted in the LSJ says that the two parties are open to mediation. It would be great to see this project move forward and have activity at this vacant building.

Ah okay I stand corrected I guess that's even worse that the project location has outlived this site. In less time, Stonehouse is on their third project and could even approach a fourth before any ground is broken.

Yeah, this website was around before the proposals. I guess I can be happy about that

I'm really just puzzled at this whole project. I remember when Michigan Museum Place was first announced. Since then Scott Chapelle has gone on to successfully start and get in to progress a different project down the road while this corner just kee…

The residency requirement wasn't brought up because the developers have dealt with it already in their plan. If the residency requirement wasn't there though, the project would be much more profitable and the brownfield plan and tax issues may not b…

One of the reasons they can't make it work is their residency requirements that certain percentages be owner-occupied. It will take the city to stop thinking that there are enough students downtown for these projects to succeed.

The project is a no-go per http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2017/01/11/developer-148m-east-lansing-project-not-feasible-after-tax-rebate-change/96436436/ Not surprised. It seems the city needs to think of smaller projects inste…

Great write-up on ELi about the project, of which will go before the city council tonight: http://www.eastlansinginfo.org/content/council-may-make-big-decisions-blighted-area-tonight Staring at the numbers, it just doesn't look like this project …

The old Rally House location will be having a new pizza place opening up there tomorrow. I was surprised by the closing of Conrads. The store there was doing really good business. I was thinking that maybe the owner was planning on getting a bigg…

I think you can try putting spaces on the blank lines between the quotes to separate them. Yeah I don't know why this would only have $18.5 million taxable value. If what they are describing is State Equalized Value then that is normally half of …

Conrad's at the corner of Abbot and Grand River will be closing. A note was posted on their front door. From the looks of it their landlord didn't want to renew their lease. They said they will be looking for another location in downtown. They curre…

It appears that by default the dates get replaced with the month once the month changes? Hovering over the date shows the more specific time. I'll look to see if this can be changed.

I had forgotten what the LSJ building redevelopment plans were. I suppose we should start a thread specific to that now that work is getting started. Are there any specs or designs published? This article was all that I could find: http://www.freep.…

With #10, Homer Street could have a stop sign added for those already traveling on Homer and forcing them to yield to traffic that is exiting 127 North. This is very common in the Detroit area freeways (at least the Lodge and parts of I-75) with ser…

I thought the search would be better but you are right, it is missing the ability to filter by topic, title, comment, etc. I don't see a way to enable that yet, and it looks like I may have to write something like that myself.

I just noticed that the mobile view of the site is a lot better now. No need to zoom in and zoom out of the page.
-
The site is now running the latest version of the forum software we have been using all along. We should get some nice updates with this, for example the search should work a lot better now. A couple notes so far: * You may need to reset you…

Thank you, I have now gotten the /forum link fixed. Both /forum and / will now redirect to /discussions.

The website update didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped. You may need to use the Forgot Password feature to reset your password.

I think it is not as simple as that. If a hotel developer wants to build their hotel without incentives, it might cost them $5 million for example. But if the hotel developer knew that they could wait two years and it would only cost them $1 million…
