Oh yeah, very good news. I was just wondering about the Stadium North project, it should prove a solid bit of infill. There's still the possibility of those apartments at Shiawassee and the train tracks as well, then of course whatever Gillespie doe…

@gbdinlansing I've known several people in the last year or two who have either had trouble getting a storage unit or had their rate dramatically increase presumably due to the high demand so there's something to it. I just don't get how so many peo…

That would suck to see that happen, it's bad enough the city gave Feldman's a tax incentive, this could very well kill the potential for a contiguous business district seamlessly spanning both sides of the freeway. I'm pretty disappointed to see one…

@gbdinlansing I snagged that rendering from the print version: And yeah, the skywalk remodel may end up a joke. I'd be a little surprised if all they do is end up painting it but that's kinda the way it looks it may go.

Well it may finally be happening, some residents of Groespeck are petitioning to be annexed by the city: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/city-of-lansing-asked-to-annex-eastside-portion-of-lansing-township,21862 There's obviously a long …

I saw this posted to Facebook today by WLNS showing the Neogen groundbreaking, it's just a hiring promotion for Neogen but it shows the rendering of the building in the background: https://fb.watch/epcJ-9gSbC/

I'm optimistic the Neogen building might happen relatively quickly, the LSJ article said if all necessary approvals go through they could start construction in late summer or early fall of this year. There's a of change potentially in store for the …

Another MSU construction project to add to the list, a 32k sq ft multi cultural center to be constructed at the northeast corner of N Shaw & Farm. No renderings yet but an architect has been selected and they're working on designs to present nex…

@sabatoa Yeah, I was just reposting what the two experts consulted with in the article said, I have no personal opinion on the legalese. My only argument is that given the statements of the experts, the distribution of an annexed communities debts i…

This is quasi-related to the new city hall so I figured it fits best in this thread... The mayor is proposing a 3.9 mil 30 year bond to raise $175 million for a new police/courts/lockup facility and fire station upgrades. I'm not sure how I feel abo…

@MichMatters I don't attempt to be my own lawyer because I'm not a legal expert and any particular bit of code doesn't exist in vacuum, there's other related laws and case law on top of all that. The people quoted in the article are a relevant finan…

I was checking MSU's facilities page and saw that the MSU board has approved construction of two new buildings, the continuation of the years long building spree at MSU looks set to continue for a good while. Specifics are likely a ways off but judg…

@MichMatters The article states that the township residents debt does not just automatically spread out to the wider city upon annexation: While there is a process for Lansing Township to be absorbed into another contiguous municipality, it woul…
-
The LSJ has a pretty solid article on the fiasco that is Lansing Township finances. They even discuss a possible merger with Lansing, mentioning how the township residents can still be made to pay the debt even after a merger and the city attorney s…

The LSJ ran a story on the REO Gateway under construction at the old Deluxe Inn site. They give no new details on the project besides mentioning that it will be 72 units, and also mentioned as a side not that their project in the Cherry Hill neighbo…

They have the brownfield plan for the Neogen project in the 6/13/22 City Council packet: https://civicclerk.blob.core.windows.net/stream/LANSINGMI/0777f06f-fbc9-4f88-ac7b-b07527543f6f.pdf?sv=2015-12-11&sr=b&sig=hXPn8dUsyzHqB6RX19/nGDYZMH1Ll1…

Oh wow, that's unexpected and pleasant news. I pretty much expect them to put effort into making the Shiawassee frontage look good, any extra effort beyond that would be appreciated.

https://develop.metrolansing.com/discussions/uploads/editor/at/mawwdwa2kiep.jpg I was walking by and snapped a quick picture of the progress on the new apartment building on the Lake Trust block. The building looks to be structurally complete and…

@Lymon89 Yeah, the window openings at Holmes St are boxed in, just the vapor barrier there now so hard to say what they'll clad it in. Agreed on Eastern and Sexton. I'm really hoping to see Sparrow put the right windows in Eastern and it'd be amazin…

Just a small update, I finally made it by the old Holmes St school and saw that work is under way there. My only gripe is the windows, I'm a pretty huge proponent of putting historically accurate windows in old schools that fill up the whole space w…
