Midland Development Corporation Incentives
Midland has an array of local and state incentives available to qualified and diversified companies. The Development Corporation Act of 1979 gives cities the ability to finance new and expanded business enterprises in their local communities through economic development corporations. The MDC may provide job creation incentives, skills training incentives, and performance agreement incentives to qualified applicants. All MDC incentives are subject to final approval by the MDC Board of Directors and Midland City Council.
For all requirements and to apply, please see the MDC Incentives Application Form.
