Flagpoles in Lansing

A government town before anything else: the Capitol and the state departments around it, then a hospital system, an assembly plant and the offices that follow a legislature. We cover Lansing and the Ingham County area, including the Capitol and the state office buildings along Allegan and Ottawa, Washington Square, the Michigan Avenue corridor, Old Town, REO Town, the Grand River and Red Cedar riverfronts, Frandor, and the Michigan State University campus at East Lansing.

Wind here. Lansing sits in an inland, river-crossed area, which works out to roughly 105 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Two different processes meet in Lansing. The Capitol and its grounds sit with the Michigan State Capitol Commission rather than the city, and the rest of the state complex sits with the Department of Technology, Management and Budget, which runs state buildings, so anything on that ground starts earlier and starts somewhere else. Everything outside it follows the ordinary city process. The physical catch here is water. The Grand and the Red Cedar meet in the middle of town, Sycamore Creek comes into the Red Cedar behind them, and a parcel anywhere near any of the three needs the flood mapping read before a footing is designed.

Most of the people who call us from Lansing are state agency and department buildings, county and city facilities, medical offices and hospitals, schools and university buildings, churches, veterans posts, union halls and downtown offices.
