Light-Industrial

220V service is a minimum for welding and heavy machinery. 480V three-phase would be better.

* Paved * About 8 spaces with room to spill to the street or neighbors in the evening. (i3 has about 8 actual spaces, with additional parking on the street. This works well for daily use (never in my memory using more than their 8 spaces) and parties (overflowing to the street)).

i3 started out with something like 2k square feet, moved quickly to 5k square feet, and is working hard to double to 10k square feet already. I think we should be looking for 5k+ square feet. Roughly equal shop and craft space.

A few quick google searches, limited mostly to a look through http://www.cityfeet.com/cont/mi/lansing-industrial-space, show space as low as $2.00 / square foot / year. Which works out to $834 / month for 5k square feet. 116 Charles is 3,300 square feet, and $810 / month. There seems to be a LOT of attractive space available at these prices.

One thing we're not short on is labor. We've got some of the most skilled volunteers in the Lansing area. If a space is a little rough, I don't think it should scare us off. We fix things. It's what we do.
