Development Update
Medline Industries
In September 2025, MED finalized a $3.85 million performance agreement with Medline Industries. Medline Industries, a leading manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies, has selected Midlothian, Texas, for an expansion of its distribution network, further strengthening the city’s position as a hub for logistics and industry.
Downtown Parking
Midlothian Economic Development is working to finalize the concept for the parking lot on Railway Avenue. The lot will provide over 100 additional parking spots for downtown.
Industry Tour
The MED team recently hosted an industry tour for local elected officials at Sunrider Manufacturing. During the visit, participants had the unique opportunity to tour Sunrider’s full range of operations, including its manufacturing facilities, research and development labs, and shipping and distribution processes. Sunrider produces more than 200 different products right here in Midlothian, which are distributed and sold across the world. The tour provided a firsthand look at the company’s commitment to innovation, quality, and global business impact.
