Board agrees to meet with two developers to hear proposals, will set special work session
Summary
The board voted to invite Jeremy Grunemeyer and Riverbend Estates for a joint workshop to discuss potential residential housing/infrastructure development and related RHID proposals; trustees asked staff to schedule the meeting and return available dates.
The Lansing School Board voted to schedule a special work session to hear from two potential developers — Jeremy Grunemeyer and representatives of Riverbend Estates — about possible projects that could use RHID (Redevelopment Housing Improvement District) tools and other development strategies. Trustees said they preferred an all‑board workshop so every member could hear proposals directly rather than rely on smaller delegations.
Board members discussed whether the city should attend the session; some trustees said they wanted to hear what developers proposed specifically for the school district as a taxing entity before inviting municipal representatives, while others suggested the city also be invited. Trustees clarified that no action would be taken at the workshop; it will be a fact‑finding conversation to let developers present ideas and answer questions.
The motion instructs district staff to set a date and circulate possible meeting times to board members. Staff will notify the board when a date is set and will invite the developers; board members may request the city be invited as appropriate.
Ending
Staff will schedule the special work session and inform the board of date options; no commitments or subsidies were made during the discussion.
