Getting to Lansing
Lead Education Day's home base is at the Lansing Center, 333 E Michigan Ave in the Governor's Room on the second floor. We'll have folks inside to guide you.
Local construction is taking place place on a local Lansing highway and on a major thoroughfare. If you've been to Lansing before, you may want to add 15 minutes onto your expected arrival. Your phone or vehicle's GPS should be able to guide you just fine through this traffic.
All parking in Lansing will be reimbursed. The Lansing Center has four parking lots you may park in. If these spots are filled, you can head to the North Grand Ramp (219 N Grand Ave) a block or so into Downtown. Both lot options have signage. If you're struggling, no worries! Downtown Lansing has lots of parking.
