Yesterday I heard part of a news report about a dioxin-related meeting in Midland. It is not a meeting that concerns those of us in the flood plain. Here are details from the Midland City Clerk's office...

The Community Meeting on Dioxin scheduled for Wednesday, May 26 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of the Midland Center for the Arts is being sponsored by the City of Midland for City of Midland residents.

We plan to limit the focus of this meeting to dioxin soil testing in the City of Midland. The goal of the meeting is to (1) inform City of Midland residents of the MDEQ's impending soil testing in the City of Midland (2) to generate questions and concerns from City of Midland property owners regarding dioxin and the soil testing in the City of Midland and (3) to pose those questions to a panel of representatives from the MDEQ, Dow, Midland County Health Department and City of Midland.

For more information regarding the upcoming community meeting, please visit the City of Midland website.
