The Gillespie Group has certainly made its mark on Lansing in the past few years... first with Prudden Place apartments, next with the Stadium District.

Now Pat Gillespie said he just wants to continue what he started.

"It would be residential housing near the water, retail stores on the water and some other entertainment as well," Gillespie said.

Gillespie's newest idea -- Market Place and Ball Park North -- would redevelop Cedar Street north of Oldsmobile Park with multiple mixed-use buildings.

"Altogether its $30-50 million in urban riverfront development," Gillespie said.

As part of the plan, the Lansing City Market would be torn down and a new market would be built closer to the river.

But as it turns out, some people like it just the way it is.

"People have told me they love this market," Diane Thompson said.

Thompson chairs the friends of the Lansing City Market. She and her 'friends' want to keep the market right where it is and are trying to raise money for renovations.

"We have a loyal customer base, they want to be at this market," she said.

Vendors said they wished they were part of the process.

"It's raised questions and they haven't been addressed," Vendor Kris Zawisza said. "Nothing's on paper, it's just a pretty picture they haven't even asked if we could go to the new place."

City Council ultimately has final say - they must approve the sale of the building to Gillespie.

Monday hundreds of people showed up to the council meeting to voice their opinions.

The council will make its decision at next Monday's council meeting
