and increased information.
“The GIS website provides data that people investing in the community would be looking for,” said Lori
Mullins, Community and Economic Development Administrator for the City of East Lansing. “Although we
still encourage community members to contact us for assistance on new developments, the GIS website is a good place to start with initial inquiries regarding property.”
The website allows for visitors to view layers of information related to parcel ownership, taxable value, zoning and links to market data. All commercial property listed publicly, as well as listings reported to the City of East Lansing is included on the mapping tool.
"We recognize the way that people do business today. Whether it’s making plans for vacation or any other activity, people go to the web first,” said Mullins. “If they can find info easily, they’ll have a better experience in the beginning and are more likely to take the next step in making an investment.”
The City of East Lansing will continue to add more information as it becomes available and community members are encouraged to submit feedback for improvement in the future.
