  • Anyone know what's been going on at the Farm Bureau Insurance headquarters on West Saginaw which is basically across the street from Horrock's? I was over that way last week and saw they had some kind of fencing around the perimeter of the site, and…
  • The old Hallmark store on the 200 south block - in between Dominos and the new music venue - is still empty, correct?
  • Was looking through the LEDC's minutes for their Oct meeting, and there were quite a few updates. The renovation of the old club on the south 200 block of Washington (next door to the Dominos/old Hallmark store) is apparently well under renovation. …
  • Symbolically, I'm not happy one bit about it; i's kind of embarrassing. But if it means better care, that will be what matters most. But I'm still so disappointed with how much MSU has turned its back on its own region on a whole host of fronts when…
  • New rendering for Stadium North Lofts in the LSJ, tonight: The developer was to close on the sale of the land, today.
  • The bridge project was actually part of a major CSO project, and wouldn't have happened to that degree with out it. So, I'm kind of happy it happened when it happened. lol And old sewer goes under the river, there, and they had to do heavy construct…
  • For anyone unfamiliar with the location: The county land bank (which owns the site) has been for some years has been marketing the site with help from the state. They'd always marketed it for multi-story use (4-stories), though not quite this…
  • It'd really be nice to see the city, county and state start formal planning on something like this. It would be years after before they could probably nail down funding for something like this, but it should definitely be in like the jurisdictions' …
  • Looks like the Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved the proposed 10 story apartment building proposal at the old bottling plant just west of the Turner Dodge property. Kind of surprised by how open they all were to something that is admitted…
  • Yeah, I'm still not understanding. How far would this Homer separation go? Up to Saginaw or to right before the offramp with intersection with Homer? I guess that the only other solution is that you simply take out Homer south of the intersection to…
  • I don't understand what you're saying. A lot of the issue is with cars coming off the freeway onto Homer trying to make a right at Saginaw. The only way you separate that from local traffic is to prevent that right turn at Saginaw, and the only way …
  • Was kind of surprised how visible the Deluxe Inn site redevelopment and City View were coming up Washington, today. Even with just that little bit of development, it makes the 496 gap seem smaller than it actually is. I guess I hadn't realized how s…

  • LSJ has an article on City View at the old Lake Trust Credit Union site. It never explicitly mentions that the renovation of the existing building (55 apartments) is complete, but it seems heavily implied. It's also mentioned that the new constructi…
  • There was literally a proposal some years back just for that. It was planned for either the park proper or where Rotary Park is. What all of this takes is vision and seeing a vision through, and we just don't have that kind of civic engagement. Like…
  • A bit more info on the Consumer's service center project at the center of the PA 425 Agreement with Windsor Township. The Lansing site will take 5 years to be remdiated; they are working with the city on resuses of the property, though because of th…
  • Seeing in the upcoming Park Board agenda they are taking about an ice rink in Reutter Park? Where, this would go in the park, I'm not sure.
  • Site prep seems to be well under way. Passed it this morning.
  • It appears the Red Cedar Lodge senior facility and Gateway Lofts are open. Not sure when the opening is planned for the hotels.
  • Story with mention of the Moneyball redevelopment on the 900 west block of Saginaw near the end. He plans to have the project done by either spring or summer of next year. https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/local/2022/10/31/desmond-fe…
