  • Looks like a new plan for this area: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2022/10/27/dublin-square-east-lansing-razed-12-story-high-rise-evergreen-property-500-new-apartments/69596792007/ EAST LANSING — Developers are proposing …
  • Good news on that front, then. The area was rezoned for higher density under the new form-based code. The area north and east of that intersection can be used for single family homes on small lots all the way to small 6-unit apartment buildings or r…
  • Eckert's last boiler was decommissioned in Dec 2020. I don't see anything happening with the Consumers Energy service center site anytime soon. The region just has no recent track record of quickly finding developers for these sites or even any i…
  • Story: Consumers Energy is moving its mid-Michigan operations center — the site from which repair crews are dispatched to fix outages — from Lansing's north side to Windsor Charter Township, the utility company announced Monday night in a news r…
  • In the city council agenda for Monday is a 425 Agreement with Windsor Township for a portion of the township at Canal & Billwood Highway of approximately 78 acres. It appears to be owned by Consumers Energy. 425's are the conditional land…
  • Keep an eye out for this to come back up. A little birdie has told me that this is far from over.
  • For the brownfield plan for the properties at the northeast corner of East Michigan and Marshall, it sounds like the showroom at 1717 will be renovated as a company headquarters including a conference/training room, and the small structure immediate…
  • Looks like the West Saginaw brownfield will be Moneyball Inc.'s new headquarters and retail store. It includes the white building and the adjacent parking lot in this shot: The current building on site will be demolished and a new 1-story bui…
  • I grew up along one of the roads, so I know they are state roads. I have not seen any serious push ever by the city for this, which is where this has to start. I don't think anyone in any position of power, here, has ever even thought it a possibili…
  • They are definitely inching into branching out in terms of planning. First, we got the bike lane on Saginaw, and they are soon to turn Allegan and Ottawa two-way, so it's not as heavy a lift to convince them to relook at at the one-way pairs as it w…
  • I mean, the biggest thing would be reversing the one-way pair.
  • Gb talked about it a few posts up.
  • 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…
