The Lansing Planning Board unanimously voted to support the $1.6 million sale of the Lansing City Market to developer Pat Gillespie.
According to excerpts from the article:
"I support what the city is proposing to do with the sale of the property," said Andrew Frederick, a Planning Board member. "I'm willing to trade off the history preservation for getting that (site) cleaned up."
Gillespie wants the market property at Shiawassee and Cedar streets for Market Place, a $24 million to $30 million retail, office and residential development along the downtown riverfront.
With proceeds from the sale, Lansing officials have said the city would build a new $1.2 million to $1.7 million year-round, indoor-and-outdoor market on nearby park land it owns.
