An Obsolete Property Rehabilitation Act District is being asked for the northeast corner of Michigan & Marshall where there are currently two old medical office buildings and a parking lot. Unfortunately, someone forgot to post the council and c…

But, that's not actually what is happening anywhere to the degree claimed - even the accusers could not provide evidence of a consistent issue. And you can tell you don't ride the bus if you think removing shelters and benches this isn't a big deal …

I'm not a 100% if this is different than the apron project I posted about in July: LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Some major infrastructure upgrades are coming to the Capital Region International Airport (LAN). According to a statement from the airp…

No, it was announced they are taking out the shelters and the benches, but will retain the stops at the location, which isn't much of a compromise. We've had a really bad habit in this town of doing this with bus shelters, park benches & tables,…

Mildly interesting article about the Walter Neller building at the southwest corner of Allegan and Grand. I say mildly interesting because there is nothing much new to the story or any changes in what the problem is, so it's interesting in that it's…

Software company TechSmith will have their grand opening for their new 63,000 sq ft headquarters in Spartan Village, Friday: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2022/09/23/techsmith-software-firm-headquarters-opening-east-lansing-mic…

Yep, Elijah Myers designed three state capitols: Michigan, Texas & Colorado, in that order. Michigan's was completed 6 years before Texas'.

I was just down at DWC the other day. Downtown EL is definitely busier than I've ever personally seen it. The corner of Albert & Abbot is barely recognizeable, anymore. IT's the difference between a destination center, alone, and not being a des…

I think this (the merger) is precisely why they announced the project.

The legal argument the judge gave was absolutely ridiculous, essentially reading the law that only a township surrounded by ONE city can have parts annexed under that particular provision of the law, which is a specious reading of that provision of …

I mean, the Ottawa Street Station sat vacant for over a decade, and sat completely without use for almost that long before the chiller units were built on the back of it. The equipment will almost certainly be taken out and scrapped/auctioned off, b…

Yeah, I'm actually fine with it so long as the Michigan Avenue frontage is used for a more substantial building. BTW, max height in this district by right is 5-stories and 60 feet (if you go by the street type for Michigan Avenue). Skyview actually …

Looks like the concept cuts off the auto center portion and the southwest extension of the existing building to open the building up to the Michigan, whereas it currently has its back to Michigan. As for zoning, given the money they'd have to…

Took this the other day: Not sure why this is photo is rendering on its side like this.

I've kind of avoided it because I'm not sure what should and should not be worthy of its own thread. I think it kind of got out of hand in the other direction. Maybe some kind of physical size or dollar amount or something could be informally used t…

LSJ is saying the Neogen expansion begins construction next months (with a Dec 2023 completion).

Right, as noted whenever the FRIB was discussed, it was going to increase the already high demand of extended-stay/all-suites accomodations for visiting scholars, professors, etc...relatively close to the university. We are seeing the natural progre…

Yeah, there is legitimate market demand for them. Finally broke and got an LSJ subscription. Looks like the township has finally had something to say about the annexation proposal. They put out a legal opinion that the city proposal wording was i…

This is weird. The Board of Zoning Appeals packet and agenda are showing back up as having gone through instead of being listed as cancelled.
