Good morning, Midland.

Midland ISD reached a major milestone as crews placed the final beam on Midland Lee High School on Wednesday, completing its frame to serve 4,200 students – a topping out ceremony will follow on July 16 to honor district leaders and construction partners.

Midland County finished installing new flashing four-way stop signs at two intersections along East County Road 173 to improve traffic safety.
