Of other importance: The indebtedness and liabilities of every city, village and township, a part of which shall be annexed to a city shall be assumed by the city to which the same is annexed in the same proportion which the assessed valuation o…

I posted the literal section of state law that deals with annexations by cities.

The ONLY reason for township residents to vote for annexation would be for the debt to be spread out. And when a municipality annexes another, the state law says that the default position is that the annexing municipality incurs all debts, liabiliti…

Next week's brownfiled authority meetings introduces us to a project that would replace the huge surface lot east of the rail road tracks between Michigan and Shiawassee. Neogen is proposing a large expansion that would create a 3-story manufacturin…

To be clear, again, they don't own any of the land in this area save for the half-lot fronting Washington at the current development site at Lake Trust. It's owned by various private property owners, business associations, and the city owns a parkin…

Nice find. They don't particularly own a lot of property; they strike me as big dreamers. But it's always great to have a concept ready. I really like the concept. I've always thought that they needed to tie downtown and REO Town together bet…

https://twitter.com/LSJNews/status/1519802658713972736 Love that Haslett and Okemos's old town centers are densifying. And, yep, Meridian Township changed its zoning code some years back to loosen parking requirements in its centers. I belie…

Yeah, they Heights has never been able to pay back enough of the bonds put out to develop it, and the Township has had to keep putting money into paying them off so as not to default. So its increasingly eating up more and more of the townships reve…

Looks like the Trader Joe's across from Whole Foods is moving forward. I'd not known the Golden Wok had closed. From the City Pulse: MONDAY, April 18 — Long-sought plans to bring a Trader Joe’s to Greater Lansing are moving forward as schedu…

I don't think so? I'm fine with them, though. I love with breaking up some of the asphalt.

I can't find the article, but like two or three weeks ago the state for the first time announced actual plans to turn the area between the Hall of Justice and the Capitol Complex into a park. This has been a concept for years, but that's the first t…
