By the end of 2009, Lansing’s skyline will have a new dimension.
The Granger Group is building a $45 million, 148,000 square foot facility for the Michigan State Police (MSP) on the corner of Grand Avenue and Kalamazoo Street in Downtown Lansing.
“It really is going to be the highest level of technology in any building in downtown,” says the president of the Granger Group, Gary Granger. “It will be a really nice addition to the 
downtown in terms of landscape and development.”
The building will have raised floors to accommodate new technologies, and will allow the MSP to consolidate three existing locations, providing a more centralized location for state’s top safety team.
“This will allow the State Police to operate a lot more efficiently,” Granger says. “There are also jobs that will be created as a result of the construction.”
The indirect economic impact on Lansing could be double the $45 million investment, Granger says.
