Midland Center City

05/01/2025

Hey Center City! Construction begins Monday, May 5 on Jefferson south of Ashman Circle. Please see the announcement below for more information from our friends at the City of Midland,

TRAFFIC ALERT: You know what they say, “April showers bring May flowers,” and soon there will be conus aurantiacum (that’s Latin for orange cone) popping up on Jefferson Avenue.

Although, that could also be because starting Monday, May 5 Jefferson Ave. will undergo street reconstruction and water main installation from Lyon Road to the Ashman Circle.

This project will maintain northbound traffic on Jefferson Ave. and detour southbound traffic via Ashman St. and Carpenter St. Updates will be periodically posted at: https://bit.ly/midlandroads. Fun fact, you can see all upcoming and on-going street construction projects at the link above!

This project is estimated to be completed by the end of September. Check the comments for a map of the detour.

Coming this year: Nord Social - your newest neighborhood bar and social club in Midland.

Created to be a Scandinavian-inspired third place designed for all seasons—a cozy refuge in winter and a lively spot in summer. We’ll serve beer and a shot, classic cocktails, and trendy new mixes. With a TV for the big game or your favorite comfort show, Nord Social will be your go-to spot to connect with friends and loved ones.

We can’t wait to welcome you in.
