“Lansing is good for us for a lot of reasons. I’m reminded of that every time I return from a major metropolitan area. The quality of life here is fantastic. We have all of the resources we need, but none of the hassle of dealing with a major urban center.”
~ James Herbert, Chairman & CEO of Neogen Corp.

What is Design Lansing?
There are several ways for you to get involved:
-
There are simple two-minute surveys that can be filled out at the Planning & Neighborhood Development office. We will also have Design Lansing tables set up at events all summer where you can find surveys.
-
Host or attend a community "Workshop in a Box" event. These ar small discussion groups that are being held all over the city that are hosted by community volunteers. You can call our office to find out about hosting a group or to see if there is a meeting coming up in your area.
-
Attend Design Lansing events. These are larger public meetings that will present ideas that have come from the surveys and workshops. These events will be publicized in the media and here on this site, so watch for those in the near future!
Who can get involved?
Anyone who cares about the future of Lansing is encouraged to get involved. If you live, work, or play in Lansing, we want to know how we can make Lansing a better place!
When is this happening?
Right now! We have started holding community "Workshop in a Box" events, and those will continue throughout the summer of 2009; surveys will be available all summer, too! The Design Lansing public meetings will begin in the early fall of 2009.
Why should I care
about the Master Plan?
The Master Plan is the legal document that will guide what happens to the physical environment (buildings, streets, parks, sidewalks, signs, trees, streetlights, etc....)
