The mayor of Lansing has announced plans for the Adado Riverfront Park project. At least, that is, phase one.
The project is focusing on a permanent stage at the park that can offer year-round activities and a place for cultural events to be held.
The plan boasts an open-air, covered stage and sidewalks to the river's edge, as well as a central plaza that can accommodate up to 15,000 people.

“The designs are spectacular,” said Arts Council of Greater Lansing’s executive director, Deborah E. Mikula. “The SmithGroupJJR team listened to everyone’s concerns and ideas and worked them into the final plans, allowing the group to present us with a dynamic vision for the park--one that will activate that space in a variety of unique and interesting ways.”
The next steps for the project include creating a business and operation plan and identifying and raising funds to support the venture, said Schor's office.
“Lansing’s time is now and activation of this downtown park will have positive impact on residents and visitors alike,” said Mayor Schor.
