It is official: Google will soon have a home in Midlothian.
Ellis County Commissioners approved a 10-year tax abatement agreement with the technology giant for a new data center at its Tuesday morning meeting. The investment by Google could total up to $500 million....

Midlothian is a city in northwest Ellis County, Texas, United States. The city is 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Dallas. It is the hub for the cement industry in North Texas as it is the home to three separate cement production facilities, as well as a steel mill. The population of Midlothian grew by 121% between 2000 and 2010, to a population of 18,037.



   Bet there were a lot of 'old timers' against this 10 year abatement deal.  You can kiss your 'little city' goodbye and your taxes are going up to pay for this new stadium.

I suspect 35s repairs will never be completed now.
