The city of East Lansing is hosting two community input sessions regarding the future use of Bailey Community Center.

The meetings will be held at 7 p.m. April 27 and May 4 at Hannah Community Center.

Community input sessions will be used to “facilitate open dialogue and solicit community feedback on possible concepts and ideas that residents have for the future use of the Bailey Community Center building,” according to a press release issued today by the city.

Interested citizens are encouraged to attend both sessions, as discussion will build upon itself from session to session. Both meetings will be professionally facilitated by Doak Bloss, who has previously worked with the Planning and Zoning Division.

The community input sessions were announced following a virtual town hall forum for ideas regarding Bailey Community Center, as well as offers from several businesses to purchase the building.

A recommendation based on the options and citizen input will be made to East Lansing City Council following these discussion sessions.
