Apartments, convenience store coming to Midland

MIDLAND – The Planning and Zoning Commission passed items that will help develop the city’s east side.

Although construction has already begun on Sunrise at Fairgrounds Apartments, the commission approved a final plat for utility corrections.

Located near the intersection of Fairgrounds Road and Golf Course Road, Sunrise at Fairgrounds is a five-acre affordable housing apartment complex.

The complex will feature two-bedroom, two-bath and three-bedroom, two-bath apartments with vinyl plank flooring, kitchen appliances and washer and dryer hookups.

Phase one will be available for occupancy in November. The separate leasing office and amenity center will be built during phase two.

Another addition to the east side of town is a Stripes convenience store at East Loop 250 and Elkins Road.
