I wouldn't be surprised if the approval of this incentive is why they expected a November start, the decision just may have come a little later than expected. Hopefully we'll see this project get going soon.

On the note of old growth forests, as far as I know the best kept example in the lower peninsula is within Hartwick Pines State Park: Hartwick Pines State Park - DNR Hartwick Pines - Wikipedia

@MichMatters As far as I knew the outdoor rink remained open for at least some time after the indoor rink closed. As I remember, the original discussions were to just close the indoor rink and leave the outdoor rink open. I can't seem to find any of…

Regarding the Element building, it was completed in time for students to move in at the beginning of the school year, there's just been nothing on the ground floor. As for the state of the East Lansing City Council, I'm not sure what to say. That…

I knew that they closed indoor rink some time ago, but I think when I was through there last winter the outdoor rink wasn't even open. It's sad because everything was fairly nice that last time I was there, not long before they closed the indoor rin…

@MichMatters Yeah, in that site plan Saginaw is to the right and I-96 is up top. The hotel being pushed so far back from Saginaw is certainly disappointing. I don't understand why the developer of the hotel would even want the site configured lik…

The most recent Delta Township board meeting agenda had a site plan but no renderings or elevations in it: 11/16/2015 Agenda, Delta Township board agendas/minutes. There are agendas for the planning commission here, but I went back to June and found…

City Pulse also had something on this: New In Town- City Pulse It's a pretty eye catching design, I'll be glad to see the place there.

The dealership is being built on 2.2 out the larger 4.2 acre site. I found a little on the effort to rework that intersection, the project was called IPACE and it dates to 2006. There's an article from WILX: New Intersection? And the CIty of Lans…

FCA seems all but doomed to me, virtually all their products are subpar and suffer from quality issues while their CEO has publicly and repeatedly begged for a merger with GM that will never, ever happen. I wish them the best as a Michigan company, …

I'm not going to argue that this is a good use of incentives I would argue that this a better use of incentives than the Bud Kouts renovation. At least this Snethkamp dealership is going on vacant piece of land at a location where a dealership will …

I wonder if that building's in very good shape? Maybe 10 years ago they covered it in some sort of faux stucco material, then the western wall collapsed about five or so years ago and it was rebuilt really cheaply. I wish they would have just left t…

The City of Lansing has generally been pretty quick to approve measures related to development except in a couple cases where there was some political wrangling over other issues, which is inevitable in politics. The City of East Lansing has histori…

For steaks downtown there are few choices, I've heard Troppo is good and the Knight Kap is great (at least before the new owner), but both are fairly expensive. I don't eat seafood, so I can't really offer any help there. For BBQ I've heard nothing…

Good, I've bee anxious to see what his plans are, especially since Emil's announced that they were closing. Here's to hoping for a nice 3-4 floor building at Michigan and Clemens...

To me it's more indicative how low LCC's budget than anything else, especially given the number of students they serve. It's also always good to keep in mind how much money a university like Michigan State makes off of football and basketball, MS…

I'm betting those panels are for the parking garage, as of last night they already have two of the pre-cast vertical columns up. The ramp's going to be a little taller and closer to the road than I anticipated, both positives in my book.

The plans for Breslin's renovation are moving forward: MSU board approves renovation, expansion of Breslin Center New renderings:

My best guess is that maybe this will include some sort of student art gallery? I could definitely do without the current building, but this new design could easily turn out really good or really bad depending on workmanship and materials. LCC ne…

I was just by the site and they have razed the rest of the building at the corner. Now I'm wondering which building they're supposed to be saving part of, or have plans changed?
