Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in City of Midland public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Case Systems tax exemption and job retention
Case Systems, a long-standing Midland manufacturer, wants to add 51,945 square feet to its James Savage Road facility. A revised site plan will return May 12 after the applicant reworks elements near the western property line.
Industrial tax exemption for Midland Compounding
The council gave AptarGroup a 12-year tax break for its new Ridgewood Drive facility but denied the same deal to Rankinen & Associates on Schuette Road. Tax exemptions trade short-term property tax revenue for hoped-for job growth, and the split vote shows the council is scrutinizing each deal individually.
