Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Midland public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Board Vacancies
Midland is looking for locals to step up and fill open spots on key boards like the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Midland Development Corporation. If you want a direct say in how the city grows, applications are open until October 16.
Wayfinding Signs
Midland is putting up 49 new signs to help everyone easily find local museums, parking, and downtown spots. The best part? It's totally paid for by hotel taxes and partners, so it won't cost local property owners a dime.
Judicial Suspension
Midland County Judge Terry Johnson is off the clock with pay after being indicted for allegedly leaking private info online. The county is now scrambling to find a temporary replacement to keep the courts running smoothly.
Cemetery Management
Midland families are rightfully upset after city crews discovered human remains in plots that were supposed to be vacant. It’s a massive administrative failure that proves the city’s burial record-keeping is completely broken.
Citizens Collection Station Opening
Midland officially opened its new Citizens Collection Station at 6400 West Highway 80, giving residents a dedicated site for waste disposal and recycling services. The new facility aims to improve local sanitation options and manage community waste more efficiently.
