It is mid-afternoon on a Monday and Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry â despite having just turned 92 in a pandemic, completed the top floor of his building in the Grand Avenue development, and prepared for a show of new sculpture at the Gagosian Gallery â has little interest in sitting back to reflect on this potentially meaningful moment in his life and career.
Instead, he is on the move â giving his first studio tour since the Covid-19 outbreak, far more eager to discuss the myriad designs he has underway, most of which have been proceeding. (Only a high-rise in Manhattanâs Hudson Yards stalled, and his office laid off eight of 170 employees as a result.)

What would I do? Frank Gehry, 92, is too busy to retire
Frank Gehry looks out from behind a model of the King Street project in his native Toronto, at his architecture studio in Los Angeles, April 6, 2021. At 92, the Pritzker-winning architect is focusing on social justice projects and dismisses the idea of scaling back. What would I do? he said. I enjoy this stuff. Erik Carter/The New York Times.

Bowers Aluminum planning $7.8 million expansion in Battle Creek
Bowers Aluminum is planning on doubling its footprint in Battle Creek
According to a release Friday from Battle Creek Unlimited, the economic and business development arm for the city, Bowers is seeking a tax abatement for a project to expand its manufacturing operations at Fort Custer Industrial Park by 70,000 square feet, generating more than $7.8 million in investments at the site and creating at least 17 new jobs.
“We are excited about the possibility of expanding in Battle Creek. We will put an emphasis on hiring local,” owner Jon Bowers said in the release. “When possible, we will hire locals because it benefits both of us. Local employees add value to our overall economy. Also, if they are closer to our facility, it is more likely that they will stay and grow with our company.”
Bowers Aluminum Submits Plans for Expansion in Battle Creek
Battle Creek Unlimited (BCU) is pleased to announce that Bowers Aluminum is considering expanding its manufacturing operations in Battle Creek’s Ft. Custer Industrial Park. Bowers Aluminum provides contract anodizing and fabrication services for aluminum products to manufacturing companies throughout the Midwest, East, South, and West. Their anodizing operations serve multiple sectors (automotive, healthcare, appliance manufacturing, office furniture, etc.).
Bowers will seek a local tax-abatement for this project. If approved, this project would generate more than $7,800,000 in investments at the site. Also, Bowers would hire a minimum of 17 new employees over the next 12 months. There is a strong potential for more employees beyond the initial 17.
