LSJ has a subscriber only story about yet another hotel in the Lake Lansing/127 area: a four floor 122 room extended stay hotel on West Rd called WoodSpring Suites. Not terribly exciting but It's a good sign that given everything developers continue…

I'm all for this, this is an almost completely dead area right now. When I've stared at satellite images trying to discern where future development might make sense this stretch of N Grand River/Willow along the river is one of the spots I've though…

The Lansing School District is going to stop bussing high schoolers and instead give them CATA bus passes: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/story/news/2022/08/05/lansing-schools-busing-cata-high-schoolers/10245566002/?fbclid=IwAR2PYro1lxZWmdZ2s5d…

Grand and Capitol will finally become two-way streets on Saturday, at least north of Washtenaw, the couple blocks nearest the freeway will be converted in the fall when freeway work wraps up in that section of 496: https://www.lansingstatejournal.co…

The poster deja vu over at SSP forum posted these updated but not yet final renderings from LinkedIn as the architect has been chosen for the new main IM building: Moody Nolan https://www.linkedin.com/posts/moody-nolan-inc-_spartan-activity-69588596…

Resurrecting this thread as it seems wise to separate out the GM stuff... This could be sort of interesting, an industry news magazine is reporting that the upcoming electric Corvette will be produced at the Grand River plant. If true it would be…

Yup, the millage is just a flat out "no"' from me. It's too much money , even if they lumped in a restored City Hall at that budget I'm not sure I could support it. I also don't trust Schor to make good decisions and possibly not even to have the ci…

Oh yeah, very good news. I was just wondering about the Stadium North project, it should prove a solid bit of infill. There's still the possibility of those apartments at Shiawassee and the train tracks as well, then of course whatever Gillespie doe…

@gbdinlansing I've known several people in the last year or two who have either had trouble getting a storage unit or had their rate dramatically increase presumably due to the high demand so there's something to it. I just don't get how so many peo…

That would suck to see that happen, it's bad enough the city gave Feldman's a tax incentive, this could very well kill the potential for a contiguous business district seamlessly spanning both sides of the freeway. I'm pretty disappointed to see one…

@gbdinlansing I snagged that rendering from the print version: And yeah, the skywalk remodel may end up a joke. I'd be a little surprised if all they do is end up painting it but that's kinda the way it looks it may go.

Well it may finally be happening, some residents of Groespeck are petitioning to be annexed by the city: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/city-of-lansing-asked-to-annex-eastside-portion-of-lansing-township,21862 There's obviously a long …

I saw this posted to Facebook today by WLNS showing the Neogen groundbreaking, it's just a hiring promotion for Neogen but it shows the rendering of the building in the background: https://fb.watch/epcJ-9gSbC/

I'm optimistic the Neogen building might happen relatively quickly, the LSJ article said if all necessary approvals go through they could start construction in late summer or early fall of this year. There's a of change potentially in store for the …

Another MSU construction project to add to the list, a 32k sq ft multi cultural center to be constructed at the northeast corner of N Shaw & Farm. No renderings yet but an architect has been selected and they're working on designs to present nex…

@sabatoa Yeah, I was just reposting what the two experts consulted with in the article said, I have no personal opinion on the legalese. My only argument is that given the statements of the experts, the distribution of an annexed communities debts i…

This is quasi-related to the new city hall so I figured it fits best in this thread... The mayor is proposing a 3.9 mil 30 year bond to raise $175 million for a new police/courts/lockup facility and fire station upgrades. I'm not sure how I feel abo…

Heritage Hall is opening to tours and visitors on July 5th and will host a grand opening in September. The LSJ has a story on the opening and a few pictures of the interior, it looks to be shaping up nice: https://www.lansingstatejournal.com/stor…

@MichMatters I don't attempt to be my own lawyer because I'm not a legal expert and any particular bit of code doesn't exist in vacuum, there's other related laws and case law on top of all that. The people quoted in the article are a relevant finan…

I was checking MSU's facilities page and saw that the MSU board has approved construction of two new buildings, the continuation of the years long building spree at MSU looks set to continue for a good while. Specifics are likely a ways off but judg…
