Developer Ken Settimo wants to open a boating and
barbeque business on the Grand River near the Kalamazoo Bridge in Downtown Lansing.
Settimo’s proposed business, The Grand Fish, follows a riverfront development
trend in the city.
According to excerpts from the article:
“What we’re trying
to do is take a vacant piece of property in the floodway and turn it into an
outdoor venue,” said Settimo.
Boaters can launch their rented vessel from the nearby
boat dock at Cherry Hill
Park, which the Parks and
Recreation Board has approved.
Settimo says The Grand Fish could open as soon as June or
early July, because no major construction would be involved. The project is
right now in front of the city planning department, and still has to be
approved by City Council.
