Vacant buildings on the site of a proposed multi-use development in downtown East Lansing.

Although particular challenges remain, East Lansing Mayor Mark Meadows remains hopeful about the latest proposal to develop a decaying portion of the city’s downtown.

 

 

Recently, East Lansing city leaders have been considering a proposal from a Chicago developer for a mixed-use project valued at more than $100 million.

 

WKAR News' Mark Bashore spoke with Mayor Mark Meadows about the proposal and its current status.
