“We have over 6,500 households in the city of Midland that already have Costco memberships,” the mayor said. “That is a staggering number when you consider the closest Costco is two hours away.”
The city said Costco will attract more retailers and help with inflation.
The new store will offer $19.50 per hour starting wages, according to a company representative. The CEO of the company is particularly interested in the project, even visiting Midland himself, the rep added.
