  • Economic and Community Development Vision
    CHANGE FOR LANSING’S FUTURE State Rep and Mayoral Candidate Andy Schor Economic & Community Development Vision Advisory Committee: Brian McGrain Scott Ellis Matt Solak Jennifer Grau Cara Nader Jamie Schriner Lynne Martinez Nancy Finegood Julie Powers This Advisory Committee includes individuals involved in economic and community development in and around Lansing. It also includes business owners and advocates. Many others not listed also provided feedback and input. This vision will continue to evolve throughout the campaign. P r o a c t i v e P l a t f o r m: A n d y S c h o r Economic and Community Development Lansing must do more to support our small businesses—especially those in commercial areas and corridors. This involves better coordinating our commercial centers to provide for collaboration (instead of competition) and allowing our commercial centers to utilize Business Investment Zones to help support self-initiated improvements. A Business Ombudsman could help new businesses get established and grow in our community, cutting through some of the red tape of government so that businesses can focus on providing their products/services and serving their customers. Use of Lansing’s development subsidies should be targeted and planned, with more information known up front about the benefits of a prospective project versus the taxes given up to make it happen. Before making them available, we also need compelling evidence that subsidies are crucial to spurring development. I am committed to ensuring that we have appropriate oversight on projects when tax dollars are given up or utilized and that Lansing’s local workers are helping in projects funded by taxpayer dollars.
