It was my understanding at the time that the new visitors center would be financed by taking out bonds which would be paid back through the Capitol's new maintenance budget. I'm just speculating, but I'd guess the reason the project was postponed wa…

Purely out of curiosity, what are you trying to do?

Just to concur, the building in question is the rear of the Strand/Michigan Theater, no doubt about that.
-
@Rads I don't clearly recognize anything in that photo, but after some comparing I'm pretty sure the building in question is the back of the old Michigan/Strand Theater. I believe the Davenport building is in the far upper left of your photo, peekin…

This is big news, there's just not enough info now to do much more than ask questions at this point. From the sound of the article the new hospital would be in the tech park itself since it said that it would be on "property owned by MSU that is tec…

I'd love to see them both turned back into two way roads, but they still have to be able to handle the traffic since Cedar/Larch/N East is the busiest and only continuous north south street through the city. It looks like it would be difficult to…

@gbinlansing Those lots are being repaved separately from the solar project and I think you're right about them being permeable (I can't find it now but I think they mentioned the lots being permeable in one of their construction updates).
-
If it's true that they're closing because someone bought the property then I'd bet that there's something already in the works. It could be pretty cool as a bed and breakfast, it would require building a new annex for guestrooms but there's plenty o…

If your talking about the corner where the old Mobil gas station was that's a Pat Gillespie project and the rendering he showed off a couple years ago was three floors with no indication of retail, thankfully it prominently states "conceptual only" …

I have no doubt that the station will be saved, it's an interesting building that appears to be in good shape in a great location. My hope is that it's reoccupied very quickly and that it can continue to be used as a restaurant or something equally …

Unfortunately the news about Clara's looks to be true: Clara's restaurant in downtown Lansing to close Clara's has always been a restaurant with a great building and atmosphere but mediocre service and food in my opinion, I haven't been there in …

The LSJ ran a story on the proposed casino today, nothing much of note except that the tribe's lawyer is quoted as saying the Department of Interior's decision on the land being taken into trust will be handed down within the next few weeks. Whichev…

@mindbender I can't imagine they'd intentionally cause an outage but I do find it distasteful that they took the opportunity of the news coverage to promote building a new substation at the Scott Park site: Old substation to blame for power outage, …

@MichMatters Thanks for the construction map. Besides the omission of Michigan Ave I see a few streets that are getting resurfaced that really need it. Trappers Cove, W Jolly, S Clemens and N MLK are all streets that I've driven down often enough t…

It's sad to see Trippers close but just about anything could be done with the space. These look nice, anyone notice them? Up North-style cottages built on Eastside

@ MichMatters While I don't agree with MJ''s initial comment, your reply didn't help. I think everyone can agree that we all want more people to actively participate here and taking that kind of tone doesn't help that cause. @MJ I've never been t…

I don't like the out of the way location that they're choosing at all, but I wouldn't want a Costco or similar big box store anywhere in the urban core either. I think that the former Waverly golf course would've been about perfect but Lansing twp e…

@gbinlansing I have seen some new houses go up on vacant lots in the city. The Land Bank was on a roll for a bit building houses on vacant lots they owned. I have seen some houses get built that weren't part of the Land Bank program but virtually al…

From everything I've seen and heard I expect the quality of materials to be similar to what's rendered in that video but I doubt that they will be selling condos in this building though, they've given no indication that that is their intention and i…

My argument revolves around the fact that better than 3/4 of the county would be better served by a downtown Lansing location, we'd be paying for a majority of this facility, it's not as though we have no say so in where it goes or how it's built. I…
