  • Play Ball: Assessing the Economic Impact of Small Market Baseball Teams
    PLAY BALL: ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SMALL MARKET BASEBALL TEAMS By Jeffrey S. Keesler A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING Urban and Regional Planning 2012 ABSTRACT PLAY BALL: ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SMALL MARKET BASEBALL TEAMS By Jeffrey S. Keesler This study examines the economic impact that the construction of the Lansing Lugnuts baseball stadium (Cooley Law School Stadium) in Lansing, Michigan had on the businesses surrounding the stadium. The Lansing Lugnuts are in the Midwest Baseball League (MBL), a single-A baseball league in the upper Midwest. The goal of this study is to determine whether or not constructing a stadium in a post-industrial city in the Midwest can be a catalyst for seasonal economic growth in the surrounding district. The study will examine privately owned properties in Lansing, MI that directly surround the Lansing Lugnuts baseball stadium, named Cooley Law School Stadium, as well as properties in two other zones within the city of Lansing. This is a mixed-methods study utilizing publicly available GIS parcel data for businesses located directly adjacent to Cooley Law School Stadium, as well the other two business zones. In addition, the study contains the results of a survey of business owners near the stadium. Dedicated to my beautiful and phenomenal wife, Venessa, without whom all of this would never have been possible. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to acknowledge my wife, Venessa, for her patience, love, and unending support throughout not only this thesis project and my graduate school, but also our marriage of 12 years.

  • Choose Hope Not Hunger LETTER to the COMMUNITY Choose Hope, Not Hunger
    2019 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY choose hope not hunger LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY Choose Hope, Not Hunger s a Board, we ask many questions of ourselves and of the management team here at Greater Lansing Food Bank (GLFB). What do we ask? It’s simple: What have we done today, and what can Awe do tomorrow to get more nutritious food to those in need and those at risk? Because the single focus of our board and team at GLFB is feeding those in need across the mid-Michigan region. As members of the Board of Directors of the GLFB, we know how important food is for every single person. We cannot function, let alone excel, without nutrition. It is that basic. And that is why this year’s theme, Choose Hope, Not Hunger, is so important, and so simple. As a community, a society and a nation, we firmly believe that no one should go hungry. And only because of our wonderful community partners, and the amazing support we receive from the people and businesses across our region, are we able to receive and deliver increasing quantities of nutritious food to people in need. As we have often said, it is what caring communities do. A number of our board members have shared personal stories of times of need in their families that they remember all too well. You see, hunger does not discriminate. It can and does prey on anyone…and everyone. We often remind those we meet that no one chooses to be hungry. And so, hope is what we offer in partnership with you—our caring and giving community.

Welcome to Forster Woods Adult Day Center’s 3rd Annual Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction! The story of Forster Woods began with a personal story in my family. My mother suffered from Lewy Body dementia, a variation of Alzheimer’s. During the seven years of mom’s decline, I became increasingly aware of the need for support for my mother and respite care for Jennifer and me. Those of you who have provided care for loved ones understand the immense emotional and physical toil the illness takes as you as watch your loved one fade away. The process is long, slow, and, at times, crippling. This year Forster Woods celebrates its 5th anniversary. Over the last five years Forster Woods has continue to grow, and since its early beginnings the center has nearly doubled the number of program participants annually.
