Here is a preview from Georgia Temple of the Reporter-Telegram
Midland County Library committee and those surveyed believe the library should stay at its current downtown location.
Here is the story
Former first lady Laura Bush will be signing copies of her book, “Spoken from the Heart,” from 3 to 6 p.m. May 26 at the George W. Bush Childhood Home, 1412 W. Ohio Ave. Her book will be available for sale with proceeds going to benefit the George W. Bush Childhood Home. Those who already have copies may bring them and have them signed.
“Laura’s going to be in the home signing the books,” said Executive Director Paul St. Hilaire. “Those wanting to have their books signed won’t be given a tour, but they will have the opportunity to see a little of what the tour involves.”
The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 685-1112.
Ms. Bush will be interviewed before the booksigning by Greta Van Susteren of Fox News.

In March 2001, the Midland City Council created Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 1 or “Downtown Midland TIRZ.”
The expectations were that a reinvestment zone could increase downtown valuations, which had fallen below $100 million.
Things have changed.
