ENGAGE

The engage page was created with the intention of giving individuals a place to find all the ways our County, City, and local organizations are actively looking for community members voices to be heard! If you have a topic on your mind feel free to send me a message! If I don’t know the answer, I’ll do my best to connect you with someone who does.

Love,
Max

Midland City Modern Draft is Ready for your Review!

The City of Midland is excited to announce that the first draft of Midland City Modern, the City’s proposed Master Plan, is now available to the public for review!

The Master Plan is the guiding document we use to help make informed decisions about the growth, development, and vision of our organization and the community through the year 2050 and beyond. In the plan, you’ll find useful demographic information about Midland today, explanations of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for us, and the ways that we can address those challenges and opportunities to keep our community growing and thriving for the next 30+ years. You’ll likely find information and ideas that you can use in your own organization. (It has lots of great photos, too!)

Midland City Modern was created using thousands of pieces of input from Midlanders of all ages, abilities, and walks of life. Your organization helped us ensure that Midland City Modern is an accurate representation of our community, so this plan belongs to you, too. 

Midland City Modern will be introduced to the Planning Commission for the first time on Tuesday, September 12. Formal release of the draft plan by City Council for public input is expected this fall. Adoption of the plan is expected in early 2024. Review the plan now!


Midland County Quality of Life Community Survey

Shoot me an email with a description, link, image, and end date and I’ll check it out

To be clear, I’m not talking favorite candy bar surveys, but actual things Midland County citizens would be concerned about... like whether or not roads should be one ways or two ways, which parts of town need updates the most, and how many back yard chickens is ‘too many’, you know… the big issues.
