Commissioners back nomination of Midland County tracts for federal Opportunity Zone designation
Summary
The Commissioners unanimously supported the Midland Development Corporation’s nomination of eligible census tracts in Midland County for Opportunity Zone designation, a move presenters said could stimulate local construction.
Samuel Eaton, Midland County Public Information Officer, Sara Hurst of the Midland Development Corporation and Dr. Lindsy Adams from the City of Midland presented a resolution supporting nomination of eligible census tracts for designation under the federal Opportunity Zone program. Speakers framed the move as locally beneficial economic development and noted the authorization came under what the minutes call the "big, beautiful bill act."
Carrie McNeil with the Permian Basin Board of Realtors told the court she and her organization "strongly support this resolution" and suggested nomination "could stimulate construction in the County." The Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the resolution and to sign the supporting document. The motion record notes unanimous approval; exhibits attached to the minutes provide the resolution text and supporting materials.
