LANSING — Much like the “Detroit” sign placed alongside Interstate 94 during the NFL draft, Lansing is going to see its own Hollywood-style, placemaking sign installed near Lansing Community College.
The Lansing Economic Development Corporation and the Arts Council of Greater Lansing have opened a contest for seven artists to decorate each of the 6-foot-tall letters spelling out the city’s name.
The letters will go on permanent display at the intersection of North Grand Avenue and East Saginaw Street near downtown.
“The project is featured along the Grand River and the Lansing River Trail, adding to the natural beauty of the area,” the council said in a post on its website. “The placemaking project will be highly visible and frequently visited, acting as Lansing’s newest public art display and potential landmark.”
