When that is all said and done there should be about 400 new properties out there. There are probably 30 to 40 that have been erected already and many more with foundations being poured. Most of the infrastructure is done and they continue to pave those roads, doing the curb and gutter and all the utilities right now. We have not started the apartment building yet, but it is still in the works.” The increase in available housing is necessary because the two major employers, Caviness Beef Packers and Merrick Pet Care company, are both growing and will be adding over 1000 new jobs in the next year. A fantastic economic boost to both Hereford and the county. It is a good test of any municipality to deal with such a large increase in residential growth, but in a small city like Hereford, the accompanying amount of infrastructure growth is especially significant.
