WELCOME
This website was create in response to the City of East Lansing's involvement in the proposed City Center II development in East Lansing, Michigan.
Click Here to find out more about City Center II. UPDATE - MSU says NO MUSEUM. Click Here to read their letter.
In short, the City has chosen to become directly involved by attempting to secure property with the threat of eminent domain; all of which was previously unable to be obtained by the developer. The constitutional rights of the property owners, stated in Proposal 4 passed by 80% of Michigan residents in 2006, are being violated.

These documents clearly show the City's intent to use Eminent Domain in a development they are involved in.
Can we have great developments without Eminent Domain? Absolutely. Click Here to see an example of a town where Eminent Domain is not used and development is booming.
