From the Lansing State Journal
The Lansing Board of Water & Light plans to build a $182 million natural gas-powered electric and steam generation plant in REO Town, moving 180 workers to the district south of downtown Lansing.
The public utility on Thursday told the State Journal it plans to construct a combined steam and power plant adjacent to the former Grand Trunk Western Railroad Depot on Washington Avenue near South Street. The eight-story facility will span 46,500 square feet.
The 4,600-square-foot depot, which is more than a century old, will be restored and serve as office and meeting space for the utility.
