gb, I am happy to inform you that the project to fix up East Michigan Avenue east of the freeway will begin September 2; the city just announced it today. BTW, this is a milling and resurfacing project and not a full roadbed reconstruction. Now that…

I'm not in favor of changing the ordinance. I do not believe that's why development of high-rises cooled down; I believe people like Ballein are using that as a scapegoat.

The LSJ had a few pictures of the amphitheater project wrapping up at the fish ladder in old town. They are shooting for an October completion:

Seeing something in the Committee of the Whole meeting next week that had me confused. It's the sell of the lots at North Cemetery on East Miller Road we talked about back in 2022. I was under the impression that the sell had already gone through, b…

Looks like the links are breaking? If so, here is another update from a direct upload from their facebook page: Really wish the city had where you could see site plans for this one to see what they have planned for the floors and such. Was cu…

Committee of the Whole agenda for next week had an update on the project. Nowhere does it mention any concern about completion of the project. So it seems the mayor was speaking out of turn, especially when the council president is quoted soon after…

LSJ had a story on this, today, with photos:

There is literally parking RIGHT at the door on the first floor of the garage. It couldn't be anymore convenient. Edit: Reading the project page on this one on the city property website: UMH - SPARROW is a renovation of an existing one-story …

The building on the east side of the stadium was known as the Central Services Building, and was an old maintenance building for the university. No immediate plants, but it's been talked about for years that they'd need that space if they wanted to …

The Holmes & Pleasant Grove brownfield plan is going before the Development & Planning Committee, next week. Looks like this planned to be a multi-phase development, though the other two buildings are only conceptual, atm, and it would expla…

Update on Haslett Village Square: From WLNS: “There will be about 200 housing units coming in, some of them being apartments and multifamily, some of them being owner-occupied townhomes, which we’re very excited about,” said Hendrickson. …

Seeing in the council agenda that the improved gravel road off of North Larch near Old Town I was complaining about may be part of a CSO project. They give the same address as the property I highlighted. Good to know that this might just be a tempor…

At he next Planning Commission agenda will include rezoning of the Evergreen properties on Albert across from Valley Court Park to include it in the downtown zoning district. The city has been rezoned these properties multiple times since 2017 tryin…

LSJ article gives update on City Rescue Mission move. It will be open by the end of next month; they took down their street sign earlier this week to move over to their new Kzoo location. LSJ has a few photos of the facility, which will be double th…

Yeah, I don't have any complaint with the old City Rescue Mission renovation outside of the fact that I'm not a fan of Gillespie. Aesthetically, that is an unambiguous upgrade. It's also going to help Capital City Market across the street which I fr…
