The fate of the Gillespie Group's proposed multi-million dollar redevelopment north of Oldsmobile Park -- including the sale of the Lansing City Market-- is still uncertain.

The Lansing City council was supposed to vote on the deal last week but postponed it one week.

"We've asked for a week extension," Pat Gillespie said. "We've had a lot of time to meet with individual council members to hear their concerns."

Council members continue to question if they will be strapped with paying back a state loan and who will actually build and oversee the new market.

But maybe their biggest question is how much the developer would have to pay the city if he sells some property to the state. In that case, the city would lose out on taxes.

"A lot of it has to do with putting it in the best financial perspective," Council Member A'Lynne Robinson said. "Just making sure that the language is appropriate for this kind of deal."

The friends of the city market--- still hopeful to save the original building -- have their own concerns.

"We have a lot of questions concerning parking for customers, and vendor access," Diane Thompson, chair of the Friends of the City Market, said.

So Gillespie came back to council Thursday with a revised plan.

"We put more description on actual project," Gillespie said. "We supplied them with construction schedules, construction budgets a lot of data."

But was it enough?

T"hey came back with a very valid attempt to address a lot of our questions," Robinson said, "but we are asking yet for some further tweaking."

Time is running out for council to question, and for the developer to answer.

Council is set to vote on the deal Monday.
