What I'm talking about are fan driven vehicles, with small or no wings and a hybrid/all-electric powertrain. They would be fairly quite and would be driven by computers, just type in your destination. This is the future, the question is really how l…

In the more distant future, when we have flying cars, it ought to make the prospect interesting. For instance the Moller Skycar prototype can go about 400 mph, you could very realistically live in Lansing and work in Chicago, and only have a 45 min …

I think it's stupid that they turned down the proposals offered up earlier this year. I remember the one that included apartments and ground floors retail, it was a nice plan that I wish they would of allowed to be built.

I almost don't mind if this doesn't even happen. It's far from the best location for a highrise condo tower. My favorite location would be the lot at Grand & Michigan or the Grandview plaza. But there are many spots on Washington, Michigan and G…

Do you remember if they already went through and got their tax abatements, zoning and all that stuff?

I also wish they could be building in more urban areas, but at least their staying in the Lansing area. As for the residential project, now is an awesome time to build, property values and interest rates are at historic lows. By the time the firs…

The dam was hydroelectric at one time, the old generating house is still there, although I don't know if they could fit new equipment in there. As far as the fish ladder, if the dam is removed there is no need for it anymore.

First, I'd like to say welcome to the site, Q. You seem to have some considerable "inside knowledge," how do you know all this? (if you can say) I'm sad to hear that Kazoo gateway is dead, it that basically for-sure, at least from what you know? …

I like both the idea of turning into a hydroelectric dam and the idea of a rapids, although I agree that if they do rapids they would have to do a good job with them.

The FBI (the "official" source) won't be releasing their data until well into next year. But I think LPD releases some stats themselves early in the year, you can always contact them to see. I do know that the last murder we had was our 10th confirm…

Yeah, $1.6 million is a pretty tight budget, I'm surprised they can even build it for that price. I think the Riverwalk and plaza part will help to make up for the City Market building itself, besides I'm sure it won't be too bad. I just can't wait …

I think the design is pretty bland also, but I didn't really expect it to look too fancy, although they could use more brick, as opposed what they have on there now (corrugated metal?). I do love the site plan though, it ought to make for a nice con…

The City Pulse posted these in a pdf:

Hopefully they have the plans in the LSJ tomorrow.

I was told it was a Clarion when built.

They have a decent amount of the Treasury Building, about 1 & 1/2 floors, but their main office is in a building out at Secondary Complex. I don't know how much space they're looking for now, but about ten years ago they needed a minimum of like…

I'm so glad to this coming to MSU! Its says the the office expansion is supposed to start in 2009 if I'm reading it right and the accelorator will begin construction in 2012 with a 2017 completion. The only thing that sucks is that this was original…

I heard today that the State has some preliminary plans to build $100 million Secretary of State building, it is supposed to be State-built also. When I learn more I'll post it here.

I was hoping to see all of Town Center come down, now it may be preserved for awhile when/if remodeled.

Yeah, they're starting from the northwest corner of the building.
