Me, I'm going to wait to hear what the delay is. What I can find on the property look-up tool is that the planning department is requesting more info as part of the Commercial Plan Review these projects have to go through. It definitely is unusual, …

Interesting. I'm looking at aerials of the place, and I can only make out two structures that look like they could have been part of the aiport. The first is in the parking lot of East Lansing Soccer Complex, and the second is a structure that looks…

Ahhh, yes, that appears to be an access road to the farm. I'm not often up that way, so I never differentiated it with all the other farms along that road up that way. But looking at the map, yeah, it's huge, huge farm, a pretty unusual landscape fo…

Oh, he was just talking about the farms fields? In that case, this is Hamlich Sod Farms. Entrance to the business is actually off Park Lake Road RIGHT on the Meridian Township/Bath Township border. This land (a bit over 1,000 acres) came into…

Hmmm, I'm still unsure. All I know up that way off of Abbot are the apartment complexes, Eagle Eye Golf Club, some self-storage units, some single family homes and some farms. That's what's between the county line and I-69, anyway. Speaking of so…

When my brother went there, he got in there. Probably wasn't supposed to. This was some years ago, but I recall him telling me they essentially just used it (the interior space) for storage.

Could you be more specific? What is the nearest crossroads? What township is this?
-
That's what I was talking about; there doesn't seem to be any law that covers responsibility for the waterways, which I found weird since we have laws for nearly everything else, and since Michigan is supposed to be a maritime state. It seems once d…

The district has invested $11 million in renovation for Sexton since 2016. It's definitely one of the properties they are looking to keep, long-term. Good thing for Lansing is that both the city and the school district are finally growing again

The new small commercial plazas do seem to do well. The one across the street at 3415 E Saginaw - "Pointe North Retail Center," which is also owned by Frandor, BTW - was built in 2008 is always leased up. Same with the Lake Lansing Place at the SW c…

Okay, so the permits & projects at the assessor tool were under an adjacent address. No information given except that permits were pulled in February and May Glad that this corner won't sit empty for years like the old gas station down the stree…

I've noticed that the former Rite-Aid at Saginaw and Clippert has been under reconstruction. I was surprised it didn't sit and rot forever as these kind of buildings often do. Frandor actually owns the building. But what is curious and unusual is th…

Thanks, Hood. I thought it was weird a park in East Lansing would be named "Capital City" Riverside Park. But it's also strange that this hasn't been mentioned by the City of Lansing's parks department.

I feel like it's this: Capital City Riverside Park https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2025/04/04/capital-city-riverside-park-red-cedar-development/82792463007/ But I'm still quite not understanding what everyone is talking…

I've found out maybe in the last year or two that it appears that it's the bridge owner's responsibility to clear logjams from bridges. I read a Lansing city council resolution where they were thanking a railroad for clearning one, which seemed odd …

Had to look the address up. This is a block south of Burcham. Edit: Looks like this is zoned "RM-32 City Center Multiple-Family Res," so now special uses being requested, and simply an ask of waving some of the parking requirements, which the…

Brownfield plan to be introduced next week for renovation of the City Rescue Mission property + 2 buildings to the west. Typical ground floor commercial units with 15 residential units on the top floors. Apparently, the apartments of the 2 buildings…
-
I am sorry I mentioned the two structures. lol I'd only mentioned them to say that I think that they'd unfortunately not been well maintained enough to make saving them worth the cost/trouble. This north end area has plenty of old houses, some maint…

You remember when I was talking about the legal distinction between "local streets" and "major streets"? Well, MDOT has an interactive map showing them: Michigan Road Jurisdiction I think this map shows basically the same thing (though without…

noticed the building at Kalamazoo and Pennsylvania [ a long-time eye sore] has been renovated at least on the outside with the sort of common steel and rock faced brick style of facade you see these days. Passed this for the first time, today…
