What to watch: The Midland County Hospital District Board of Directors will meet Sept. 25 at 11:45 a.m. to decide on the district’s budget and tax rate for fiscal year 2026, and the hospital system’s strategic plan through 2027.

Key points:

  • Budget and tax rate: The board will consider a proposed FY 2026 budget that includes a property tax rate reduction. For the average Midland home, that equates to a $4.93 savings.

  • Strategic plan: The board will also consider approving the district’s 2026–27 strategic plan, which will guide hospital operations, priorities, and long-term initiatives.
