It's back to the drawing board for the Park District, with Council voting 4-1 to let the blighted buildings stand for a few more months.

A reader wanted to know what the construction project across from the Broad Museum is going to be. We explain.

Are the approaches being taken by East Lansing's current City Council actually getting in the way of redevelopment downtown? We talked to Ken Jones of Studio Intrigue Architects, who thinks they are.

ELi has learned that Convexity is going to be "significantly" changing its plans for the Park District.

Convexity, the would-be developer for the blighted area of the Park District, has provided ELi a statement indicating dissatisfaction with the City’s handling of the proposal and negotiations. What's been going on?

Having obtained two key documents in the deal-making, ELi finds the City of East Lansing and the Park District developer appear far apart on a number of key issues in the proposal negotiations. But the parties are talking.

The developer called Tuesday night's vote on the Park District plan a project-killer. So what's next? We asked around to bring you this special report.

Last night, East Lansing's City Council approved a site plan for the blighted area downtown. But Council also approved a tax plan that the developer says makes the project impossible. ELi's Alice Dreger reports.

East Lansing's City Council may make some big decisions tonight about the redevelopment proposed for the blighted area downtown. What's on the table? ELi's Alice Dreger reports.

With East Lansing's City Council set tomorrow night to possibly make some big decisions about the redevelopment proposal for the blighted area downtown, ELi's Alice Dreger explains the basics and the complications.

Meridian Township has now officially told East Lansing essentially this: “If you want to hand over more than a million dollars to Costco in a tax give-back deal, go ahead. But we’re not going that far.”

Last night, East Lansing's City Council approved the site plan and a $1.5 million tax deal for Costco. What are the details, and what remains in terms of approvals?

Costco has officially requested a property tax break worth up to $1.8 million related to the store it is looking to build in East Lansing—a request two City Council members suggest is absurd.

Looks like Costco will be asking for a tax incentive to build its new East Lansing store. ELi's Alice Dreger reports on this and the plans for the site.
