local beef that is brought in from one the farms right here in Sweet Home.” Young also points to a local vineyard, Moore Family Vineyards, and a particular local favorite, Lilies and Lovelies, enjoyed by Sweet Home residents. ‘SWEET’ HOME OPTIONS “We are very fortunate here in Sweet Home in that we still have lots of land that is great for development and our housing prices, while they have gone up, are far more affordable than a lot of the surrounding areas.” Sweet Home is meeting the increased population demands by introducing several apartment complexes as well as some single-family subdivisions. “We have three single-family home subdivision projects that have submitted planning applications, one of which will go up to about 130 homes,”Young says. “These are all in the process of approval and design right now. One is about 230 new single-family homes, some of which will be up on a hill with a view and some have larger lots,” she outlines.“A lot of housing looks like it will be in over the next couple of years.” A ‘SWEET’ FUTURE TO LOOK FORWARD TO As Sweet Home continues to grow, the City is looking to attract all types of businesses. “We would love to have additional stores. For example, we need some additional clothing stores and similar-type stores and we also have the space for industrial businesses of all sizes.” 206 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 5, ISSUE 03
