LANSING – The city’s cold weather plan, dubbed “Code Blue,” has been activated through 7 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11.

During the Code Blue, Letts Community Center will be a warming center overnight from 9 p.m. 6 a.m.
Additionally, the Lansing Board of Water & Light will not do electric shutoffs while the Code Blue is in effect.
