City

The Love Your Block program is a service strategy to engage community members in revitalizing neighborhoods – one block at a time. Through this program the city of Lansing will provide mini-grants (up to $5,000) for neighborhood revitalization projects funded through the Cities of Service.

Learn more about the grant, and start a conversation about potential projects our neighborhood could apply for on August 17 from 7-9 p.m. at St. Casimir Church, 800 W. Barnes Ave. Lansing, MI 48910. This will be a PhotoVoice presentation through the Lansing Love Your Block program. For questions or concerns, contact Neighborhood Engagement Coordinator, Andi Crawford at andi.crawford@lansingmi.gov.

Every five years the City of Lansing approves a Master Plan for Parks & Recreation. There is a proposed River Trail Extension from Moores Park to Grand River Park in this plan. Download a copy of the 5-yr Parks & Rec. Plan 2015 – 2020. The programs and the potential spending for capital improvements to the city park systems will be reviewed at two upcoming meetings: The first one will be at the Informational Committee of the Whole Meeting on Thursday, March 19 at 6:30 pm in the Clerk’s Room at the South Washington Armory, 2500 S. Washington Avenue, City Clerk Election Unit (rear entrance) – and the second one will be a Public Hearing before City Council on Monday, March 23 at 7:00 p.m.
