Corridor Improvement Authority Act - PA 280 of 2005 - Michigan Corridor Improvement Authority
What - The Corridor Improvement Authority is a Mayoral Appointed board of volunteers who set improvement priorities for public property within a Corridor Improvement District. The district is typically along a commercial corridor and can use Tax Increment Financing, Special Assessments, Bonds, and Donations to fund specific public infrastructure improvements like: beautification, sidewalks, bike racks, street "furniture," parking improvements, bike lanes, and façade grants.
Who - The Corridor Improvement Authority covers Michigan Avenue between the Pere Marquette Rail Road in Lansing and Grand River Avenue in East Lansing. It is a joint board made up by the Cities of Lansing and East Lansing and the Charter Township of Lansing.
Why - The Authority's goal is to carry out the vision of the three municipalities for Michigan Avenue. The Authority was created to better unify the look and function of the corridor for visitors, residents, and businesses alike. The end result will create the finest commercial corridor in Michigan, connecting the State Capitol, Michigan State University, Downtown East Lansing, and Downtown Lansing.
