  • I emailed them and got the same brochure. I agree that they seem to be covering all of my original concerns with this bridge, if the things they're talking about are done properly which I assume they will be. Like you, the only thing I'm left wonder…
  • In the June 20th City Council packet, AT&T is requesting an easement in Adado riverfront park for their utilities. They state that this new easement is necessary "because the Michigan Department of Transportation plans to reconstruct the Saginaw…

  • I was just going through some of my old pictures on my computer and I found an old rendering of a Lansing Center expansion. I can't remember where the picture came from, but I think it's from the proposal under Hollister to add 250,000 sq ft of spac…
  • I'm pretty happy with the design too, I'm happier to see the height. I was figuring on the buildings being two, maybe three floors, but not five. Now I'm wondering if the other buildings will look like this or if they will have multiple floors at al…
  • Well, I'm not from Lansing Twp, and it looks like no one else here is, but I'd certainly like to see some renderings and site plans along with your story. Besides, without more details of the project most opinions you gather wouldn't be specific to …
  • I'm really happy with the job they did fixing up that building. It's especially nice given the difficulty I'm sure they'll have find a tenant for such a small space.
