The auction was delayed until at least next Thursday: Park District auction starts, stops, to be continued Even though this auction doesn't include the old Citizens Bank building, I'm still glad to see some of the parcels move out of the control …

I have absolutely no idea how Township residents would react to an annexation attempt by Lansing. I know they'd have a local income tax and probably higher property taxes to deal with, the City would have to make a good case as to why it's worth it.…

When I first saw the headline I was worried this was regarding Red Cedar: Lansing claims Lansing Twp. intentionally blocking development' Lansing is saying that Lansing Township imposed a rezoning moratorium specifically to hinder the redevelopme…

I was by there earlier today and I'm a little disappointed that they tore down the older two floor building on Shiawassee, other than that I'm glad to see all the other buildings go, even that building won't be missed much. Besides, I know that for …

This park really is sort of an embarrassment as it sits, it's essentially a grassy field with a few dilapidated structures and paths. I've always imagined Riverfront being redesigned in a similar spirit to Millennium Park in Chicago. Whatever they d…

I remember those ramps, but I think they were gone by the time I drove myself. They were pretty ridiculous.
-
I thought I remembered something like that but I couldn't find anything when I looked. Anyways, it's nice to see that gas station come down, especially to be replaced by a new building.

I'll believe it when I see it. Did the development ever pass this step as Strathmore?
-
Yeah, ultimately I think all of Lansing Township should be dissolved, but paring the Township down to Eastwood and their western core would be a good and sensible start.

I don't know how it will happen, but Lansing Township will eventually be annexed by Lansing. It has to happen for the sake of the region, I think it'd be better for most Township residents over the long run also. I could see the broken up eastern po…

I'm not surprised at all to see something get built here. What would be surprising is if it turns out to be anything more than another small strip mall or fast food restaurant. I'd love to see this area move towards mixed use buildings.

The airport is in a sad state now, it looked like things may turn around but apparently that isn't happening. It doesn't help that Capitol City's terminal is embarrassing compared to almost any other major airport in Michigan and North Grand River i…

I found a blog detailing some Lansing history, it seems to have recent posts so look for updates: Lost Lansing This hasn't been mentioned before, has it?

I don't really know why they keep that railroad either. Maybe they do use it a few times a year to bring equipment in and out of Reid Machinery. I hope to see it vacated and turned into a street if the factories on Mt Hope are renovated or turned in…

I was wondering about this just recently, I still hope to see it happen. I though that the decision from the Feds was supposed to come a lot quicker than this, hopefully Bernero is right and it'll be approved before the end of the year.

It's nice to see this officially moving forward. I noticed a fence go up around the property recently so I wouldn't be surprised to at least see site work start any time.

I don't know about the history of the tree, I was watching that part of the most recent planning meeting and they were referencing it, but apparently everyone there already knew the context. I guess it was discussed in the prior two planning meeting…

The building at Spartan and Grand River is now proposed to be six floors along Grand River with a narrow two floor annex along the east property line. Apparently the new design is at least partially to accommodate a tree that has some sort of histor…

Just to note, it's Scott Gillespie who bought the 2000 block (same guy who did the Marshall & Michigan apartments). I'd assume that if he just bought half of the 2000 block he'd almost certainly be looking at an adjacent ready to develop prop…

I was by the site earlier an I'd say the flags are almost certainly related to this project as they are only on the Story Olds property. If I were to guess, I'd say they're in preparation to disconnect the current buildings utilities for demolition.
