...And here's the article: Lansing YMCA site could get new life in $22 million deal I'm a bit unsure about this project. I'm almost always for new construction downtown, especially residential construction, but I don't like the idea of building…

They have put in the foundation for the new sculpture near City Market. I think it's supposed to be unveiled in a week or two.

I'd hope that raising the bridge up a little would be something they'd do without having to be lobbied to do so, but who knows. The old dollar store in Old Town at Washington & Grand River is slated to undergo what looks to be a pretty good r…

I agree that we need to address the issue of sprawl, I doubt anyone on this forum would disagree with your stance on it. I just don't think that laws dictating too much to people are the answer. Besides, with the recent rush of interest in urban are…

I don't think the kind of regulations you talk about are very good ideas. They're too Orwellian. I think that the best way to encourage smart development and growth is through things like improving mass transit systems, improving urban school distri…

A new bar called The Boardroom is opening at the former location of Skyline Chile/Famous Taco/Downtown Doghouse. Maybe a bar will finally be the business to succeed at that location: New bar to bring 20 jobs to 3,600 square foot Downtown Lansing loc…

No it has not been built yet, construction hasn't started yet either. From what I understand the smaller version of the project including about 150,000 sq ft of retail and a parking ramp is basically a sure thing and is supposed to start constructio…

Not that I know of. The library and museum are still open, unchanged from before.

They are saving the old depot. I've seen some new windows installed on the front of it, they look to be testing the materials or how they fit/look or something. Anyone heard when construction is supposed to start?

I have no doubt that something will be done with this site eventually, it's just a matter of time. A park wouldn't be a bad use either, but I'd rather see some development in the area. I don't see houses being directly across the street from large s…

That house was hard to justify saving. it had been so heavily altered that, from what I understand, virtually nothing was left of the original house on the inside, it had also been modified on the outside quite heavily. That, coupled with it's locat…

I'd say this project is fairly likely to happen at this point. I also think there is virtually zero chance of Knapp's being turned into a parking lot.

As far as I know the project is still moving forward, albeit slowly. They just rehabbed one of the buildings on the property into a Neighborhood Empowerment Center and an old house on the site into commercial space. I still haven't seen any site pl…

The figures are unsurprising to me. The Census was being too pessimistic on the figures for the Lansing area. In the next census I wouldn't be surprised to see Lansing hold steady or even gain population. Clinton county growing faster than predicted…

The video doesn't really offer any details on the project. It was just discussing the issue with the PLA the council was trying to impose on him. Gillespie interview video

A rendering and two different site plans for the Marketplace project: This is what I'm pretty sure is the current rendering of Marketplace, 5 floors of residential over ground floor parking with a nice atrium-looking area joining the two phases. …

Davenport University To Close Some Michigan Campuses Davenport is closing a few of it's campuses to the benefit of others. Luckily Lansing will be one of the campuses that will see an expansion. I would love to see Davenport build a new building …
