Ribbon cutting at Backwater Suites in Lansing ...

Main Street Lansing held a ribbon cutting event for Backwater Suites, a new lodging facility located at 10 South Second Street in Lansing. Co-owned by two local couples, Alex and Shelly Galema and Scott and Jana Schoh, Backwater Suites just completed the renovation of its third lodging unit, with two more in the works. Backwater Suites is located one block away from the Mississippi River and is within walking distance to many local restaurants and retail stores. Additionally, it is one of the few lodging units in Lansing that offers ground-level access. All rooms have access to a shared patio space, and pets are welcome. If a larger group is interested in visiting, adjoining rooms are available.
