The City of East Lansing is continuing its work on the revamping of the 600 block of Virginia Avenue.
According to excerpts from the article:
The Avondale Square project, which started in 2004, is planned to create 30 housing units targeted at permanent residents in an area previously inhabited primarily by student renters. Currently, four homes have been built in the area. City officials also plan to build the first of three triplexes this summer.
“We actually are expecting to break ground on the first triplex building in the . . . month of June, if not then in the month of July,”said Tim Schmitt, an East Lansing community development analyst.
The city has acquired all but three of the original 23 homes along the block. East Lansing officials are in negotiations with the property owners at 660 and 672 Virginia Ave., Schmitt said. No date has been set for the project’s conclusion.
