This isn't for next year, though. This doesn't even start until 2022. This is going to hit when you're going to have the first pretty full student population back on campus.

MSU has the largest or one of the largest dormitory systems in the country.

Looks like the city has finally lost patience with the Back 40 crowd and will be clearing it using COVID transmission as cover. This is the land behind the properties on the east side of Larch between Saginaw and Shiawassee. I remember years ago the…

Yeah, seems the motivation was both higher graduation rates and lots more room-and-board money coming in, and as you say, the pandemic was good cover to kind of bury the news. And, yeah, my thought is that this hurts the students apartments further …

Suprised the local media didn't make more noise about this. This is going to change the local development patterns quite a bit. It's going to mean smaller demand for student housing for sure. https://twitter.com/eastlansinginfo/status/13338525910…

* https://twitter.com/downtownlansing/status/1333766154645626881 * The Lansing Shuffleboard & Social Club project plan and lease were approved by the City Council last night for the old City Market building. Improvements include finally addin…

Highest points/elevations in town are actually down just south of East Northrup Street on the southside just west of where it intersects with Cedar, and along the esker ridge on the northeast site. Both locations have elevations above 890 feet. You'…

Gb, my family was friends with another family that lived way out in rural DeWitt Township, so we used to take DeWitt Road (turns into MLK at the county line) all the way to its first end at Stoll Road. Really beautiful and well-maintained agricultur…

Okay, so here's the 5 acres they want at northwest corner of Crescent and Harrison directly across from MSU's the state's Geagley Laboratory: https://cityofeastlansing.civicweb.net/document/41314/Approve a resolution to set public hearing for .pd…

So glad to hear about this one. I drive on the viaduct regularly, but hadn't even paid attention. This was the old North Larch Substation, so used for electricity. After proposals for a marijuana micro-business and the owner then saying he'd move hi…

I'd like to be clear that the graphic above was an early concept for the site. I'm not sure what the actual site plan looks like. It's why I wish Lansing Township would post packets on their website. A new clerk was elected this month, though, and s…

Jared, Chief Cart sells and rents golf carts. One of their big clients that they make a lot of money off of every year is Common Ground. Larch and Cedar are not that wide, particularly for thoroughfares. They are only three lanes, which is akin t…

The site plan is just all right. It should be better given the excellent location. I kind of wish they'd save a whole corner or a third-of-a-slice of it for dedicated parkland, which would have the benefit of saving some of the unique geograp…

Gillespie never owned the land. The 3-acre parcel has been in the hand of the East Lansing-based Eydes since 2016 and before that I think it'd continued to be owned by the former operators of the A-to-Z Rental business that occupied the site for yea…

Development-related issues before the council have definitely accelerated in the past few months, which is a good sign. In fact, it looks like they moved up Dec's Planning Board meeting to this Tuesday. The Dec 1 Development and Planning Committee w…

Looks like the Lansing Township Planning Commission has the Waverly Park Golf Course redevelopment on its agenda, today. Something about an "final development review" for road and infrastructure for Phase 1 of the development. Unfortunately, the tow…

I guess the good I take out of this is that 1.) they are staying in the region, 2.) they are relocating to existing land instead of building in a greenfield, 3.) It's steps from the Amtrak station and campus where I'm sure they'll be able to recruit…

Lots of stuff on the Committee on Development & Planning next week, though mostly formal introductions & setting public hearings for things I'd already posted about when they'd started at the Planning Board: * Introductions & setting p…

I'm old enough to remember when they made a big splash about moving into the University Corporate Research Park, and then it fell apart.
