Community Engagement and Business Development Professional. The Detroit Free Press Opinion piece in December about Lansing Schmansing was met with swift responses from the Lansing State Journal, Lansing Mayor Andy Schor, and others in Lansing’s leadership. As acknowledged in the responses, Lansing is struggling to re-identify itself after the shift to remote work post pandemic. Also noted were a number of existing gems throughout the city and the new business and residential projects on the horizon that aim to bring more residents and life to the downtown, Washington Ave, corridor. Yet, I am still concerned about missing opportunities and a lack of an overall plan.
