Midland's Changing Downtown

And while there has been some public sector involvement in projects — such as money given to Basin PBS to set up shop in the old Ritz Theater location, or funds for Basin Burger to become a new favorite for those downtown — that public sector involvement will be what complements the real work being done by private markets and free enterprise. That, most of us, would agree is the way it should be.

So yes, like many, we celebrate Susie’s South Forty coming downtown. Like the new residential complex planned for Main and Wall streets, renovations to West Wall Towers and the Bank of America building — other planned changes — Midland’s downtown face is changing. And, yes, there is a fine line where we get maximum benefit of public funds used. You don’t have to walk through the Centennial Plaza fountain project to see that. But we see good things are happening and we welcome more successes.
