Midland County has given the green light to the design phase of a significant construction project. The West County Drainage Project is intended to alleviate flooding in areas that have been prone to flooding in the past. These areas are located north of Highway 80.

The project's goal is to reduce flooding in this region. Further information about the project can be found through local news sources, including Yourbasin and Big 2 KMID + Fox 24 KPEJ.
