Good morning, Midland.

After one year of the Vision Zero initiative, the City saw a 19% drop in accidents causing death or severe injuries, reflecting a notable improvement in road safety across Midland.

Cinergy Entertainment Group will open a new venue called Cinergy Tall City late 2025 at 4815 Loop 250 Frontage Road in Midland—bringing more than 180 new jobs to the community.

The center will convert a former movie theater into an entertainment hub featuring indoor karting, escape rooms and dine-in theaters.

Investments have increased starting salaries for Midland Police Department officers to $79,201—up 19.6% since 2023 and 27.9% since 2020—and boost recruitment as the department maintains 172 sworn officers and 11 academy recruits with vacancies falling from 52 in 2019 to 19 once current recruits graduate.
