Mayor Andy Schor today announced that the City of Lansing will be joining Washington, D.C., and other cities around the country, in a lighting ceremony to remember and honor the lives that have been lost to COVID-19 by illuminating City Hall and other City buildings.

The ceremony in Washington, D.C., hosted by the Presidential Inauguration Committee (PIC), will feature a lighting around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool at 5:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. The lighting of City buildings will be at the same time.
