LANSING, MI- Old Town residents seek out a solution to the construction of a local eye sore in the midst of the Walnut Neighborhood community. Niowave, a particle accelerating company that currently occupies Walnut Elementary School, built a “pole barn” structure, on what used to be a playground, without warning residents. Walnut Neighborhood Association member, and local resident, Penny Gardner, met with Niowave officials and other association members Friday, Oct. 5, to discuss potential opportunities for improvement of facilities’ exterior. “We want Niowave to fix the façade of the building to make it more appealing,” said Garnder.
