LANSING, Mich (WLMI) Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero is in the nation’s capitol today to make a pitch for federal funding for TWO local projects. Bernero is hoping to secure money to help redevelop the former GM “Fisher Body” plant AND make improvements to the REO Town district, near downtown. The GM plant halted production in 2005 and has since been razed—The Board of Water and Light is in the process of building a 182-million dollar co-generation power plant in REO Town.
