Former Michigan School for the Blind Site to be Redeveloped

An Indianapolis-based developer has plans to redevelop the former Michigan School for the Blind site into three housing complexes.

The 72-unit Walnut Park apartments project is currently under construction.  Total cost of this project is $24.4 million.

In about a month, people interested in living on the former Michigan School for the Blind's campus can find out if the first $12 million project, called Walnut Park, suits their needs.

Walnut Park, at Willow and Pine streets, is one of TWG Development's three housing projects aimed to transform the former school's 40-acre campus.  The Lansing State Journal has more information.
