Good morning, Midland.

Zoo Midland has begun construction on 52 acres of land that will house live animals like giraffes, rhinos and monkeys for the community.

The project—costing over $100 million and expected to create 100 jobs—will take three years to complete and will begin building in 120 days; it is scheduled to open in 2028—promising a new local attraction.

AST Spacemobile is expanding its operations in Midland to help improve cell service for residents—bringing the company one step closer to better local connectivity.
