Creating Jobs and Wealth in Distressed Michigan Communities
Student-Led, Faculty-Guided Project
Authors: Dr. Zenia Kotval
This project is centered around the 1.5-mile-long Collins Road Corridor in Lansing, Michigan. There is currently a significant amount of development occurring along the corridor that will bring immense change and this project allowed the corridor to be ready for that change. Through conversation with many stakeholders and intense research regarding the zoning, market, and infrastructure of the corridor, a shared vision will be developed for the area.
