  • Glad to see this building getting reused. Morley Cos. to hire 500 for Delta Township facility DELTA TWP. – Saginaw-based Morley Cos will hire approximately 500 new employees beginning next year for a new facility in Delta Township. The…

  • I guess not directly development related, though it shows the the affects of the development. Lansing School District's enrollment is up for the first time in 18 years: https://twitter.com/ByMarkJohnson/status/1199435009930727424
  • This is where Park District East - or at least part of that project - was going to go, right? I've always thought EL should have a more traditional downtown, and office space is part of that. Apparently, the city thinks this, too: According …

  • For whatever reason, The Abbot's social media doesn't update construction process like the others one's did. It's also pretty hard for the average person to get good angles for this one given it's location. I've only ever been able to capture it w…
