Midland Michigan is now the global headquarters of two Fortune 500 companies which include the Dow Chemical and Dow Corning Corporation, and home to the Midland Cogeneration Venture, the largest gas-fueled, steam recovery cogeneration facility in North America. Mid land MI has become a center for industrial innovation, and is becoming a hub for the solar energy industry. Midland has evolved from an Indian village to the “City of Science and Culture.”
