  • Jwswrites, your census data is from 2007, so 150 people x $8870/year difference=$1,330,500 savings/year - why would JNL not want to save this money for the past couple of years? Why would they want to lay off 150 people (or however many are not t…
  • Regarding JNL's job transfers... I think it's good news that the jobs are coming to Lansing, but definitely not good news that JNL as a company cannot sustain their Denver call center.
  • This chiller plant looks pretty large (maybe it just appears that way with all the surface parking around there)... Is there a rendering of what this will look like once completed? I walked by there this weekend but didn't see one of those project …
  • Where's the small grocery store on Washington Ave?
  • How about turning the Knapps building into a cinema, possibly for second-run movies? I used to love going to the 99 cent Quad cinema in Saginaw... Plus, one of the major drawbacks that I see to the Knapps building is its lack of windows. Who wa…
  • CADL has done so much to inform and explain their millage request, from public meetings to sections of their website to representatives meeting with neighborhood associations. People can see exactly what the money will be used for, with defined goa…
  • It sounds like the old Cedar Street School in Old Town just south of the old Temple Club is being redeveloped into medical offices and the new location for ThreadBear (a knitting/yarn store). It's supposed to have a physical therapy/rehab practice,…

  • How different state Departments of Transportation can be: MDOT appears to not want anything to do with revitalizing areas yet Oregon nine years ago publishes a booklet on doing just that called "Main Street...When a Highway Runs Through It" (http://…
  • Lots of talk lately about the CSO project and implications for a road diet on Saginaw and Oakland when it gets to there in 2010. The Northwest Initiatve's Westside Alliance has put together a promo piece that was delivered to most of the surroundin…
  • Okay, I acknowledge that a city government isn't a business, but who turns down a 200% gain on investment? $200k to get $400k seems like a pretty straight-forward decision, especially when the city wouldn't have had to spend the $200k unless it got…
  • Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster here. The Planning Library (along with the International Center Library) will be closed by the end of this semester. Some of the PLA materials will be moving to the Main Library. I haven't heard anyt…
