Town of Midland

The Town of Midland will not proceed with awarding the proposed Midland Bay Landing development project following Council’s review of the proposals and considering community input for this once-in-a-lifetime parcel of waterfront.

Following a comprehensive evaluation, Town Council determined that, under current market conditions, it would be challenging to advance the proposal in a way that appropriately advances the Town’s strategic priorities and the vision for the site informed through community engagement.

Community engagement had identified key priorities for the site, including considerations related to waterfront access, scale, land use, and long-term community benefit. Council considered these perspectives alongside broader economic factors in reaching its decision.

Please read today's full announcement for more information:

The Town of Midland will not proceed with awarding the proposed Midland Bay Landing (MBL) development project following Council’s review of the proposals and considering community input for this once-in-a-lifetime parcel of waterfront.
