In April 2011, a decade after Lansing Township gave zoning approval for the "lifestyle" shopping center, the township will break ground on the next major phase of its development strategy: 120,000 square feet of commercial space and 1,300 parking slots on vacant land just north of NCG Cinemas. A fall 2012 completion date is the goal.

How stringent is the "couple of sentences" rule, here, again?  Is it really only two?

Lansing Township takes on role as developer, with risks

LANSING TWP. - Lansing Township is taking a developer's role - and risk - with its plan to build restaurants, stores and a parking ramp near Eastwood Towne Center.

The article is writting around the issue of the township being the primary developer of the project, which I guess is pretty rare.
