Proposal Afloat for Lansing Riverfront Boat and BBQ

Developer Ken Settimo wants to open a boating and barbeque business on the Grand River near the Kalamazoo Bridge in Downtown Lansing. Settimo’s proposed business, The Grand Fish, follows a riverfront development trend in the city.

According to excerpts from the article:

“What we’re trying to do is take a vacant piece of property in the floodway and turn it into an outdoor venue,” said Settimo.

Boaters can launch their rented vessel from the nearby boat dock at Cherry Hill Park, which the Parks and Recreation Board has approved.

Settimo says The Grand Fish could open as soon as June or early July, because no major construction would be involved. The project is right now in front of the city planning department, and still has to be approved by City Council.
