The City of Lansing is putting together an infrastructure-based wish list for $107 million of President Barack Obama’s new stimulus package.

"It's a pretty lofty list," Lansing City Council President Derrick Quinney said. "I'm glad we moved something forward. We've all identified that we have a worn, stressed infrastructure. We certainly need all the help we can get to improve it."
The Lansing School District, Lansing Board of Water & Light, and Capital Area Transportation Authority also have their wish lists, and across Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties, requests total well into the hundreds of millions of dollars.
That could mean 4,000 jobs within the city limits alone, according to Lansing officials.
