Interesting, sticky's have always worked as expected for me. I'm going to go ahead and sticky the aforementioned threads. EDIT: I don't know if I like it but I don't like those threads getting buried either. I'll keep it this way for awhile an…

@P2005 Thanks for posting the updated pdf, it's nice to see the rendering of the Farm Ln facade. I still like this design myself, although the Farm Ln frontage is more bland than I expected. I'm generally fine with red brick, it's timeless and reas…

Right now the rail ROW is slated for a trail but I wouldn't be sad to see light or interurban rail there someday. If high speed passenger rail ends up getting built out I think a GR-Detroit via Lansing route is likely to be added and the Port Huron-…

@Jared @MichMatters (and anyone else interested) Any objections to sticky-ing all (or at least some) of the following threads? We're already in a spot where the second page has threads last commented on three years ago so I don't think we'd be losin…

I'm reviving this old thread rather than make a new one. I'd like to post more random news on new businesses or local government matter like below and not feel like I'm cluttering up the development threads. The city is apparently about to change…

I do really like the redone plaza next to QD up there. Looks like the building in question on Penn used to be a place called "MRHA". I'm not seeing anything unusual with Google Maps myself.

I was shocked when they allowed the mini building boom we saw pre-COVID. Just goes to show how fast things can change when you don't stand in the way, too bad the NIMBYism is so strong amongst EL residents. I mean, they just fought to keep a surface…

Yeah, both of the projects along Harrison are exciting and could really change the look of that whole area. A lot of potential change coming fairly quickly. I was also wondering where that child development lab could be, the agenda text doesn't g…

You make a very valid point lol. I have no idea what the thought process is on going through an RFP on a property like this vs offering on the open market or working more directly with a developer. I'd like to think it's not just a political/nepotis…

There are multiple items of note in the upcoming Board of Trustees meeting... https://trustees.msu.edu/meetings/documents/2024/BF1-Long-term lease - Child Development Laboratory.pdf -Authorizing a lease with the City of Lansing for ~15,000 sq ft…

The city is continuing to try to find new management for current LEPFA facilities. IDK what to make of this, I don't really visit any of the facilities but from a distance it seems that the ballpark is well maintained/managed, as is Groesbeck Golf C…

A small bit of potentially good news from the township board's July 16th minutes: they sent the Howard & Michigan back to planning committee because they dropped the storage and added housing, resulting in "increased density". They had a public …

As far as I know, yes it is still closed there. I haven't tried to go that way in over a month.

I was out on the trail today and wanted to snap a couple pictures of probably my favorite trailside scenery in the area, the Sycamore Park wetland area, while flowers were blooming as it looked quite nice despite the gloomy weather when I noticed a …

I think the Lansing Reddit is certainly out of touch. Facebook is more all-encompassing but I think people with more extreme views tend to share them more frequently, the audience for many individual pages/posts tends to be one sided. The proverbial…

@sabatoa Well said. I wish it were just a Reddit issue (there just seems to be a sort of Marxist political element over there) but the same attitude is present on Lansing-related Facebook posts and throughout the community in my anecdotal encounters…

We really should have some benefactors though. The RE Olds money was squandered. Larry Page is from EL and has done nothing (to my knowledge) for the area, Magic Johnson hasn't done much either. Multiple large insurance companies based here which ha…

Didn't catch the address thing. Weird. When you search 108 S Grand in Google Maps it comes up in that LSJ parking lot. My first thought was a mix up with the potential project on the Granger lot.
-
It's all been a long time coming. I'm (more than) a bit jealous of GR. Over the years I've reluctantly come to realize the lack of vision around here is a community-wide problem, not just city leadership like I wanted to believe. The lack of any maj…

Both Riverview 220 and Grand Vista Place showed up in the planning committee's agenda this week, the staff reports state that construction is imminent on both, December and January respectively. Neither had any site plans or renderings, not even a f…
