City officials were determined to complete a roadmap for the future of the 35-acre area — located north of the Red Cedar River between Bogue Street and Hagadorn Road — and are now hoping to have the groundwork for new construction laid by spring.

Local leaders are constantly looking to attract jobs to the region, and this week they're looking on the other side of the globe. East Lansing Mayor Sam Singh and Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero have traveled to Asan, South Korea, to meet with local government officials and corporate executives in the Asian nation.

South Korea's government is financing the entire trip. Bernero and Singh are returning a visit Asan's mayor made to Lansing last year.
