  • I thought it was worth pointing out this site plan: The document talks about connecting the west bank River Trail through Wentworth Park, alongside Grandview Plaza and restoring the path that's attached to the S Grand Ramp, that part of the pla…
  • I'm not surprised at the existence of office space, I'm surprised their putting it at the top of the building and only doing one floor, if it weren't for the top floor office space this could be a stick built building. I'm not complaining at getting…
  • This is very, very welcome news. The nighttime rendering of Tower on Grand is great, the new building in Old Town and the Ingham Building's renovation into apartments are unexpected and significant positives. I did not expect to see stuff added to t…

  • --Cancelled/On-Hold/Stalled Projects-- -530 Albert apartments (Rejected by Council/On-Hold) https://goo.gl/maps/6LU5j5xymFiG4dGZ7 Currently proposed as a 5 floor 122 unit affordable housing project on the private land that was leased to the ci…
  • Thanks for pointing that out. I never think to check their opinion section, there were a few articles in there that I found interesting.
  • I don't know, the last time CADL put up a millage for capitol improvements it failed. That was 2008 though and times are much different.
  • Regarding the new arena in Kalamazoo: First, I fundamentally disagree that Kalamazoo is better positioned to host events/conventions than Lansing. The Lansing area itself is larger, our local university is larger, we're better geographically positio…
  • I could not agree more. I was unaware that the tax was currently producing that much revenue much less where it was going. I'd like to see something like 70%-80% of the expanded revenue go to bonding out capital improvements. The higher rate would r…
  • City Pulse also has another article: https://www.lansingcitypulse.com/stories/cadl-pledges-to-keep-a-strong-downtown-presence-as-pressure-grows-to-stay-put,113221 None of the language used by CADL officials has been promising. What I see quoted i…
  • I still find it hard to believe that Gentilozzi would leave all the free money on the table and I'd be surprised if that money couldn't make financing the project relatively easy. It'd be nice to know what's going on, but there's a lot of projects h…
  • Good to hear that it's moving forward, I had been wondering about this. I'm still curious as to the cost/scale of it. It reminds of BWL's plans to move their operations to the GM sites on the west side that seems to have stalled.
  • It's revolting to see that satellite view cropped like that, it makes it impossible to ignore how horrible of a use of land it is. I honestly couldn't get behind a pole barn anywhere in front of the church, especially near the street, under any c…
  • A small update on EL's Evergreen properties, they have selected the firm to represent the property (Savills) and set an asking price, $4.435m, they make it clear that they do no necessarily expect to get that price. It's always seemed implied that t…
  • This is exactly the kind of little negative thing that I've seen too much of in this city in recent years, it's part of why I feel so torn on this city's future. If this kind of stuff is making to committee I can only imagine the other kinds of mist…
  • I agree. If they need more space, acquire the necessary land to build an addition on the south side of the building. If they have to close completely for a year or two for a full renovation then so be it. I'm not willing to vote for the likely $50+ …
