  • Yes. There will be an important City Council meeting on August 22 at 7 PM. Preservation Lansing will be presenting our case to City Council. At the end of the meeting there will be Public Comment. If you want to speak for 3 minutes at Public comme…
  • UPDATE: Habitat for Humanity has backed out of the Mayor's deal to move the house. Pro-Scott Sunken Garden people will have a chance to present our case to City Council ion August 22 and THE vote could take place on the 29th - or the next week. We…
  • No. We were told by Dick Pefley that the MAYOR was the one negotiating with GM after GM Detroit vetoed the sale. He said he tried but failed. Whether he really tried or whether anyone has tried - we don't know. Having the Mayor solely negotiate …
  • Another contradiction by BWL which I don't understand: City Pulse recent article with Serkaian had this statement. "The underground conduits run right up Washington Avenue, the presentation shows. BWL officials have said the conduit along Malcolm…
  • The 138,000V conduits come north on Pennsylvania, cut across to Elm Street, then west on Elm and from Elm drop down south to the new BWL REO cogen plant. After the BWL cogen plant, the lines go straight west across the river to the old Eckert plant…

  • This newly discovered site is the industrial lot available at Diamond Reo Way. The smokestacks on the upper right of the picture are BWL's new cogen facility. A really good golfer (not me) could hit the building. It's about 1000 feet. The BWL has…
  • Yes we agree. That is our best strategy. BWL is now rolling out labor union power to testify. Ridiculous because they will have construction jobs no matter where they put the substation. Elected officials need to understand that Virg may be vulne…
  • Thank you both for the kind words - and YES, we at Preservation Lansing would dedicate ourselves to the promotion and renovation of Scott Park should it be saved. Rest assured. We have hundreds of volunteers already committed. There is interest in…
  • Hello, I have not written in this Forum yet, and only recently discovered it. I found the discussion very interesting. It seems that most everyone we talk with is against demolition of the Scott Park for the BWL substation for many good reasons.. …
