City of Midland is a municipal government agency headquartered in Midland, Texas, serving a population experiencing significant growth over the past decade. The city manages core municipal functions including water and sewer infrastructure, public safety, planning and development, and community services. Recent operational focus includes large-scale capital projects (fire hydrant replacement, water and sewer line upgrades), geospatial data modernization (workflow automation, web mapping dashboards, real-time solutions), and planning initiatives (comprehensive planning, zoning management). Pain points center on equipment maintenance, staffing constraints, and data consistency — common challenges in rapidly growing municipalities balancing service demands with fiscal constraints.
ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, ArcMap, and GIS are primary platforms. Active projects include web mapping dashboards, real-time geospatial solutions, and GIS data layers for zoning and annexation management.
Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL are all in use, supporting GIS operations, utility management, and municipal data systems.
