Midland County Road Millage - What is the road millage proposal?

Since 1957, a voter-approved road millage has provided dedicated street funding to improve and maintain 1,100 roadway miles and bridges in 16 Midland County townships, the cities of Midland and Coleman, and the Village of Sanford.

The current proposal on the August 6 ballot asks for a 1 mill tax renewal to help maintain and improve roads and bridges throughout Midland County. This is not a new tax.

If passed, this millage will generate $3.9 million per year through 2028 that will be used, in addition to local, state, and federal funds, to fix our roadways.
