  • I think it is supposed to north of Wal Mart and NCG, there is construction of some sort going on there now, it looked like site prep last time I seen.
  • The last that I heard the J C Penny for Eastwood was a sure thing, I beleive thats what is under construction now. Secondly, this is not going to stop Eastwood from further development, it is a small hiccup. Better in Lansing Township than I-96 &…
  • I was there too. I think you have a good idea, with holding the cookoff on the downtown streets. But I think they may need to utilize some of the sidestreets also. This year it would have been impossible with all the contruction, but maybe you could…
  • Looks like theres one semi-interesting item in this weeks City Council agenda: b. Setting a Public Hearing for July 23, 2007 in consideration of Brownfield Redevelopment Plan #32; filed by C&M Walker LLC for the former Melody Farms property …
  • They have definately taking their time on this one. I was by it probably 3 weeks ago or more and it appeared complete from the outside.
  • I think the plan for the Lowes fell through. There are plans for a J C Penny, I think it may actually already be getting site prep work done. The Eastwood Master Plan is massive, and it calls for reltively little surface parking and quite a bit of m…
  • The building on Michigan getting a second floor is really looking interesting. It looks like the second floor is going to sort of have an ultra-modern look, oddly sloped roofs and large windows on the side. Definately worth taking a look at.
  • I agree, I just hope the same can be true for Lansing, or at least its Downtown.
  • It was taken over by the County and they are in the process of selling it. I think they may even be doing an RFP or something similar. Someone else here mentioned it a few weeks ago.
  • I really hope the old Ottawa Station to be an awsome redevelopment opprotunity. It will have to be put to mix of uses due to its size and varying floor sizes and celing heights. I think the biggest thing currently holding it back are the cooling tow…
  • This is going to be an awsome project. I still wish Lansing could see some more high-profile, high quality developments like this.
  • Never considered going to a council meeting, for a couple of reasons. FIrst, the council doesn't typically listen to people anyways, I don't like the types of people that do speak, in this projects case in particular its already out of the hands of …
  • I'm glad to see this finally happenning, but I'll have to see a map to understand where it is. I haven't seen an updated rivertrail map in a long time, I'm not sure where they have added new trails at all. Do you know if Hawk Island/Scotts Woods are…
  • If I remember correctly the 7-block property was sold to the Eydes by the city, with the city reserving the right to take back over the property if certain contengencies weren't met. The city has extended the Eydes deadline several times, I beleive …
  • The CSO schedule showed N Washington being reopened this year, and I seen some things on the City Council agendas about it. I thought the work should have already started.
  • I think there is plenty of room for even more entertainment options on both Washington and Michigan. I think there needs to be at lease 2 "big-city" style clubs, like X-cel and any number of additional bars similar to The Firm and Tavern on the Sq. …
  • I have gone from eagerly awaiting this project to hoping it falls through. I can't get over how ugly this will be and how much permenant surface parking it will create.
  • from this weeks City Pulse: City, LCC exploring Capitol Ave. as site for performing arts center I actually think that N Washington/Capitol is a better lotaction for a performing arts center. It would help this area so much more than it would help…
  • Its on the south side of Michigan, I think the first building west of the train tracks. I'm still not clear if they are adding a second floor to just the one storefront or to more than that one. Here's a pic of the building from the assessors site:
  • It looks like they have started working on that building in the 600 block of e Michigan that they were supposed to add the second floor to.
