  • After major infrastructure projects are completed downtown (at least after park district project), I would like to see the city council continue to work on developing a vibrant downtown through effective policies and placemaking initiatives that pro…
  • Music at Michigan State University will make a bold transformation with the June 21, 2017 MSU Board of Trustees approval to plan a major new addition and significant facility renovations to the College of Music. Thanks to more than $7 million in ini…
  • "The Michigan State University Board of Trustees will meet at 11 a.m. Wednesday in the Board Room of the Hannah Administration Building. The board will consider the authorization to plan for an addition to and renovation of the Music Building, …
  • MSU continues to offer courses during the summer semester and there are a lot of summer outreach programs, like the sport camps. Many courses are offered online as a way, I think, of giving students the opportunity to leave E.L. and do internships a…
  • Both major developments should move forward.
  • LSJ: This type of proposal is new to the city, because the developer is asking for property tax reimbursement to pay off the bond. Harbor Bay is proposing to capture 90% of the new property taxes generated from the project for 30 years to cover th…
  • Let it move forward! City Council is losing the forest for the trees.
  • This development is valuable for EL in many ways. It brings energy by changing the landscape, possibly brings a grocery store downtown, includes age-restricted housing and adds downtown parking. In practical terms, this development should bring mo…
  • Exactly. Lot 1 is a good downtown location but not an appealing setting for those festivals. Move those festivals to the park. If you want to keep it downtown, then find space for a few days.
  • I assume the local people in that group are prepared regarding possible criticism. People are going to complain about height, traffic, density, parking, festivals and every other thing. Its all right for people to give input, but some EL residents w…
  • I just hope that LEAP and other organizations continue to promote business growth and talent attraction to support the growing downtown infrastructure. Also, it would be good for people to finally see the benefits of BRT. So, besides these developme…
  • This a great opportunity for the city all around and I think it even helps Convexity by reducing the pressure the city has placed on that project.
  • Height and traffic always come up as criticism with large scale development. But this development has some local business owners and they seems to be organized so that there are no substantial issues. It looks like this will be a smoother process. W…
  • I don't think that MSU will add another building near downtown since there is no space and what is already there, I would say, is essential to University operations (classrooms and dorms). The only option is demolishing older buildings for newer one…
  • Ideally, everything would be near West Circle but reality is that MSU has a ton of land dedicated to future developments and needs, such as this building. We have to see how this translates into more urban activity. On a positive note, this building…
  • I think that this is the ideal result. For a city of this size, various good-size and good looking buildings are better than one huge building.It fits more with its landscape.
  • MSU Today Today, the MSU Board of Trustees gave the university the go-ahead to proceed with construction of the Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building, a 170,000-square foot facility, which will play a key role in support of MSU’s Glob…
  • New video from the LRCC re: Michigan Ave. Their proposal, which is the general proposal being promoted by non-BRT people, is to simply fix roads. That is a short-term view that, as many weaknesses as it has, I don't think CATA has addressed them …
  • I think that this building will mostly be service and operations oriented so its not much of an attraction. According to the construction website, it looks like the next big project will be the Eli Broad College of Business Addition. The city shoul…
