Looks like at their meeting last month, the Lansing EDC is set to repurchase the small surface lot at the northwest corner of Michigan & Cedar next to the Lansing Center for $280,000, the price they sold it to the Sault Ste. Marie Chippewa back …

Notice some more work going on at QD's headquarters building down on Mt. Hope and Washington. Property assessor page shows a few projects permitted, but most appear to have been completed/expired, so I'm not sure what's going on. The Lansing Industr…

I was going to mention the old Kalamazoo Gateway proposal. It's funny, though, because I don't expect anything that nice, anymore. It's interesting around that time how nice the architecture being planned was; even the Gillespie's were putting up st…

I'm just glad because the Michigan Ave location is cramped for them, and this new location will still be centrally located, but have much more room for the Mission to house and deliver resources better. They will apparently develop a new structure o…

Next week's Planning Commission agenda just dropped. - The Lansing City Rescue Mission is looking for a (spot) rezoning and special use permit for moving its single men's and women's shelters from East Michigan Avenue and Cedar Street, respectiv…

They'll have to, but it won't mean anything. If the public's opinion meant anything, this wouldn't be taking so many years and they wouldn't be so uncoordinated in planning these things. I don't understand this town, sometimes; it's so small-brai…

One bay of parking already exists in front of the existing building, so I wasn't surprised to see that. It's just overall shitty urban planning. It's just overall too much parking and poorly sited, to boot. How are they going to justify this on a li…

As expected the, public safety campus siting is mostly wasted space. Looks like at least half the space on the combined parcels is some form of surface parking. This is kind of what I'd expect a new city hall site to look like, too. Just ZERO…

Speak of the devil. Beitler wants another bite of the City Hall apple Chicago-based developer J. Paul Beitler is still ready to buy Lansing City Hall and renovate it into a hotel. “Right now,” as he put it — six years after his first attempt…

The LSJ did an update on the public safety headquarters the other day. I was glad to hear that they were able to shave off about 10% of the cost because the mayor was able to convince some ratings agencies to upgrade Lansing's bond rating; it's $175…

Yes, it's my understanding that when they get through with all of the heavy work, that the street will be repair as part of the overall project. It's supposed to happen some time this year.
-
Yeah, it is a pretty basic street reconfiguration, not really a streetscape project. What I'm excited about is the elevated pathways next to the sidewalks. It's funny, because I've been down Michigan the past few days and can't even imagine there…

Looks like Delta beat everyone else in the region to this. lol Delta Township officials approve measures to allow 'cottage housing.' DELTA TWP. — Township officials have voted to allow developments featuring homes as small as 440 square feet.…

Found out the wall at the north side of Ranney is, indeed, a water structure. It'll be used to aerate and filter water from the drain, and was told it'll look like the renderings you all were talking about, though I don't really remember them. A pre…

What's the Lake Lansing trail?

Aaaaan, here it is. From WILX: The 2024 state budget put aside dollars for the city of Lansing, allowing the city to move forward with projects that were halted due to a lack of funding. Such as the relocation of city hall. “This building is …

Was just reading on WILX about the +$9 million for infrastructure upgrades around the airport, and one of the projects mentioned was a pedestrian walkway (i.e. sidewalks, lol) from Grand River all the way to the terminal. I just realized that despit…

It's the only thing that would fit with "campus plan." What they are building down on South Washington north of the park is planned as a campus. I guess we'll get more news whenever the city decides to release it.

Yeah, I think the LSJ was reporting on this incorrectly. The House Fiscal Agency's description says: Conference includes $40.0 million GF/GP one-time funding for the development costs of a city's campus plan for Lansing that includes the moder…
