PSU's estimates are based
largely on housing activity.
Building activity has remained
low this year, although housing
starts are slightly ahead of 2011, said
Community Development Director
Carol Lewis. Last year, the city had
three new houses.
"It was horrible." Lewis said.
Through May, Sweet Home has had
four.
"There's certainly other stuff
going on," Lewis said, but this is the
time of year when the city mostly
sees remodeling projects. There has
been some commercial activity, in-
cluding remodeling at O'Reilly's
Auto Parts, Thriftway and Safeway,
and the construction of a commer-
cial building at 800 Long St.
Revenue will be up a little as a
result, and property values have in-
creased by $560,000 in the past two
months. Lewis said.
"There's not a lot going on, but
we're hoping it will get better."
