Business and work
Lansing businesses build community by providing goods and services to the region, by offering friendly advice to careful shoppers, by bringing tax revenue into the Village, by hiring qualified workers, and by supporting a variety of community causes. The Lansing Journal’s Business category is a place to learn about new businesses opening in Lansing, old businesses that have faithfully served for generations, and unique businesses that are building community in new ways.
