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,

Student Survey

MPS Strategic Plan Survey - Student

Midland Public Schools has launched a strategic planning initiative that will guide the future of our community's largest school district for the next five to ten years. The process will establish clear goals, objectives, and measures to track progress; identify the knowledge, skills, and qualities every MPS student should have when they graduate; and help shape future facility plans.

MPS can’t create an accurate long-term plan for our district without including your voice. Take 5 minutes to complete the student survey today!

Open through 12/19/25.


WORKING ADULTS SURVEY
OLDER ADULTS SURVEY

Assets Across the Lifespan Surveys

Work Adults (ages 18-59) and Older Adults (age 60+) when they launch on November 25. From the Legacy Center for Community Success. The primary purpose of this community-wide effort is to gather data that is truly representative of our community – capturing the voices, strengths, and needs of youth, adults, and older adults across all demographics in Midland County. This project includes three surveys tailored to these age groups (11-18, 19-59, and 60+) and is grounded in the Search Institute’s Developmental Assets framework to identify key protective factors throughout an individual’s life. The data from these surveys will reveal critical gaps in services that can be addressed to help all community members succeed and thrive.

The first 1,000 people will qualify for a $5 e-gift card. They will receive a link from Tango Rewards within a week of completing the survey and will get to select their own gift cards.


Shaping Our Future: 2025 Midland County Belonging Survey

This survey is designed to assess your experiences with belonging and inclusion in Midland County. An initial study of Midland County was completed in 2021, and this current survey will help identify areas where our community has made progress since 2021 and help identify areas in need of additional improvement.

The survey asks demographic questions followed by brief questions about economic opportunities, housing, health and well-being. The survey then asks about Midland County's response to the 2020 flood followed by questions about race and ethnic relations in Midland County. The survey concludes with questions about interactions with the police and criminal justice system in Midland County.

Each of these questions asks you to select an answer that best reflects your experiences specifically in Midland County.

The survey should take between 10-15 minutes.

You must be at least 18 years of age and a resident of Midland County to participate in the survey.

Midland City Modern

The City of Midland is excited to announce the adoption of Midland City Modern, the City’s newest Master Plan!

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. You helped us ensure that Midland City Modern is an accurate representation of our community, so this plan belongs to you, too. 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.
