The Lansing State Journal reports that the Lansing City Council is expected to approve a $13 million housing/retail project to help rejuvenate the city's downtown. Stadium District would include 58 condominiums and apartments as well as retail and office space in what is now a parking lot across from Oldsmobile Park (home of the Lansing Lugnuts). Some in the community are critical of the proposal, especially because it would give a 50% tax break for 12 years to condo buyers.
