A New Lansing Emerges

A lot has changed about Lansing in the last decade. In fact, if you compared what you see today with what was there just ten years ago, you would be surprised at how the city has grown.

Lansing is now home to new businesses and industries such as the two GM assembly plants and Spartan Innovations. Technology companies have made this city their home as well as improved cultural and educational opportunities.

Improvements have also come in the form of economic developments with attention to several areas for revitalization. These changes have encouraged more new businesses to make this city their homes, which has in turn created more jobs and increased population growth.

These changes have not gone without notice. In fact, Lansing made Kiplinger's Top Ten Places for Young People list as the place to work, play and live. It was the top spot in Michigan and placed sixth overall for high-tech job growth.

What the New Lansing Has to Offer

With these changes, the attitude in Lansing is changing. It brings a revitalized attitude that appeals to even more people. It has more to offer than the Lansing of old, including:

·         Michigan State University, a top-notch school

·         An international community that welcomes everyone through various activities, events and businesses

·         Increased focus on entrepreneurship, starting with the youth in the Youth Entrepreneurial Event

·         Diversity combined with community

While each area of Lansing is unique and offers something different for its residents, the city as a whole is one focused on inclusion. This combination allows the city to continue to grow as it welcomes people from all walks of life, which only increase its appeal to others seeking a new place to live.
