During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the results of a community survey conducted in Midway, highlighting significant concerns among residents regarding rapid growth and development. Key issues raised included low wages, high living costs, and transportation challenges, which have contributed to a sense of losing the small-town atmosphere that many residents value.

The survey included an open comment section, which yielded numerous responses reflecting these concerns. Officials noted that while the quantitative results of the survey are publicly available, the raw comments are provided exclusively to them for review. This approach allows for a deeper understanding of community sentiments without public editing.

Looking ahead, the next survey is tentatively planned for 2026, contingent on securing necessary funding. This future survey aims to track changes in community dynamics and gauge the effectiveness of any measures taken in response to current concerns. Officials expressed a desire to collaborate with community members to address these issues and improve the overall quality of life in Midway.
