Accident Fund Insurance Company of America is moving its national headquarters to the old Lansing Board of Water and Light’s Ottawa Street Station power plant in Lansing.
The Accident Fund projects that it will outgrow its two present sites by 2011. To 
accommodate that growth and the addition of 500 new jobs, the company decided to embark on the largest overhaul of a power plant in the state.
“Accident Fund will preserve a downtown landmark while transforming it into an exciting state of the art business camp,” says Accident Fund President, Elizabeth Harr. “This redevelopment will be a catalyst to a strong revitalized downtown and the Lansing community.”
The seven-acre project site extends from Ottawa Street to Shiawassee Street between Grand Avenue and the Grand River.
Harr says the site is large enough for ample office space and a 1,000 car parking lot. Plans also including adding an adjoining building to the site and a linear public park on the riverfront.
