[ARCHIVED] Dig In Midland Project Up for Community Excellence Award

July 2, 2018 – Spread the word – the Dig In Midland streetscape renovation project is in the running to win the 2018 Michigan Municipal League (MML) Community Excellence Award!

Now through Sunday, July 29, residents can vote for Dig In Midland once per day by visiting http://bit.ly/votemidland. Projects are evaluated by a panel of experts in four categories: online votes, replicability, creativity, and community impact.
