The LSJ did an article on Meridian Twp developments to watch, the most notable thing to me would seem to be the absence of the Okemos & Hamilton development. I did not know that the four floor building at Newton & Saginaw was already up. The…

There's an LSJ article on upcoming developments in Lansing. Apparently the Gentilozzi projects will be seeking council approval "soon" and aim to start a 90 day brownfield clean up for the tower site in March. It's also mentioned that the new buildi…

IMO The city is just going to have to figure out how to clean up the Consumers site enough for residential/mixed use, that land being redeveloped in the right way could be a huge positive for that neighborhood and the city. The large river front par…

I read that article and Couch's rebuttal to it in the LSJ. It's a just dim-witted poor take the likes of which I've come to expect from today's hollowed-out newspapers. Not many legit journalists out there these days, there's no shortage of this kin…

The November 7th board meeting minutes give a little more info on the Howard & Michigan project: It will have 168 units of residential in a five floor building with the storage in a four floor building and parking in between the buildings. It's …

I was on the newly opened phase I of the MSU to Lake Lansing Trail and through Ranney Park today, I took a few pictures: First the MSU to Lake Lansing trail: View looking east from Hagadorn towards the new bridge: Looking west back at the b…

That's a very plausible reason for the delay but I'm not so sure that I'd bet on interest rates getting any lower anytime soon. On a side note: As a laymen but avid follower of economic and geopolitical news and events, I'm more lost than I've ev…

I could imagine there being some financing hang-ups over this but it could just as well amount to an excuse to delay it. I can't believe he plans on spending $60-$100m on this renovation, it doesn't seem like a sensible project to me. I'm sorta s…

I'm all in favor of this. It's interesting that the Pennsylvania frontage isn't included even where Hepler has already demoed houses, I wonder what the logic is there? I do hope he does something more interesting with his current project than a coup…

The arguments in favor of the surface lot were depressing to read, EL Info made it seem as though those arguments went largely unchallenged in the public comments. I wonder what downtown EL and the rest of the Grand River corridor would look like if…

Perhaps the governor has shown support and or indicated a willingness to force it through should the departments resist, when I contacted Sarah Anthony's office asking about this some time ago it was implied that the governor could make it happen in…

The public/private partnership is confusing to me as well, I assume they're looking for corporate sponsors to help fund certain features at the park. I'm not going to even attempt to pass any judgement on the current design as it's so early in th…

It may finally be happening... The State parking lots between the Ottawa/Hannah Buildings and the Hall of Justice is set to become a park, work could begin next spring. Needless to say, this fantastic and long-awaited news. https://www.wlns.com/n…

Oh how I love the concept of ranked choice voting. It's one of the few ideas that might actually fix some of the government dysfunction at all levels, I hope it's given a chance. I could get behind the addition of a 5th ward to stave off ties.

Well it's official*, and I can't believe local media missed this: GM Grand River is going to convert to EV's at a cost of $1.25 Billion (*tentative to approval of the UAW deal): https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/11/gm-to-invest-1-25-billion-at-la…

Hopefully it works as intended, at the very least other municipalities will be able to learn a lot from what happens.

I'd be lying if I said I knew enough to have a strong opinion. I'm more interested in not rocking the boat too much because of the positive momentum that it only just beginning to swell in the area, I'm worried about the distractions that a process …

Lansing is getting another $6 million in grant money that will go to various projects including RoeCo and the Parks Furniture renovation now called "The Iris" (I'm very happy to see that one moving forward): https://www.wilx.com/2023/11/02/lansin…

Higher education truly is big business these days
