  • And the funny thing is that MSU itself is actually tax exempt.
  • Does Gillespie already have approval for the second phase or will he have to bring it in front of a council who is unwilling to consider a vote?

  • No need for an annex, roll up an old sleeper car and the bed & breakfast is ready for business Could even add a subtle bounce and roll along with TV screens covering the windows to simulate that the train is moving. Play a bit of audio and t…
  • I saw a mention of White Oak Place in the last City Council meeting synopsis. They reworded some of the details of the brownfield plan, so after that I'm thinking the project is ready to move forward. I don't know any details as to when construction…
  • I actually hope a permanent stage doesn't get done here. Each time there is an event, most of the park is closed off to the general public unless they have paid money to get in, basically turning one of our nicest parks in to a private park. I wo…
  • I hope that there can be a creative use for the other land next to the proposed dealership and that it doesn't turn in to a fast-food place. I think even a large amount of densely planted trees could be nice and refreshing after coming off of the hi…
  • I saw somewhere on Facebook that the owners of Clara's are closing it because they sold the property. So maybe this will get reopened as a new type of restaurant or something else. It could make a really cool train-themed bed & breakfast.
  • I'm fine with not every project on Michigan Ave including retail. Until all current retail spots are occupied, new ones may just sit vacant which won't look too good either. There's always the possibility that this building could be rezoned later an…
  • Wow great photos! Nice placement of the Sun and good composition too.
  • Here's the reply from facebook, http://screencast.com/t/S2JuhwcLEU
  • That was a well worded reply sabatoa. Thanks for saying something
  • Yeah, there's definitely some backstory behind the severance pay, but it shouldn't derail the rest of the city. In the grand scheme of things, the $160,000 payout is very minor out of the whole budget of the city.
  • Wow, well this is sad. First, I don't think council should feel compelled to grant all developments subsidies such as payment-in-lieu-of-taxes. However, the reasons stated by the City Council as to why they did not grant the subsidy does sound ve…
  • Nice to hear but I wish that would have been closer to one of the urban cores. Getting CostCo near downtown Lansing could be huge, and there is definitely the space for it.
  • Oh thanks! Well I'm still stumped then
  • Jackson National is in Aurelius Township. Maybe there is some erroneous data where employees are stating where they work instead of where they live?
  • Welcome to the site drobinson! I thought I heard that Dave and Buster's canceled their plans for Eastwood saying that it didn't have high enough traffic but I can't find any reference to that online.
  • Welcome to the forum! The city put out an RFP for that lot in 2007 to get a highrise built there with parking on the first floor. Here's a link to the comments on this site about it, http://develop.metrolansing.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=19…
  • That's 300 Grand which was formerly The Gateway. It's coming along real well!
  • The cutting of the trees was an indirect subsidy to the developers since the developers would have had to pay for it if the property had been sold to them already. Does anybody know what the hold up is on the sale taking place?
