In 2009, a company explored the opportunity to build a set of apartments in Sweetwater. They were looking to be able to get
federal tax credits to build an 80 unit complex. The projections are to have 24 three bedroom, 32 two bedroom and 24 one
bedroom apartments. The complex is being constructed on Interstate 20 near the Arizona Street exit "The patience of the com-
pany paid off as construction started in the spring of 2011 and we are excited to see the completion of the construction which is
expected somewhere around July of 2012, but no specific completion date has been set," said Executive Director of Sweetwater
Enterprise for Economic Development Shown above is the continuation of construction on the Mustang Heights apartment
complex. The graphic above is a rendering of the complex from the company that is building them, MacDonald Companies.

The Nolan County
Hospital District Board of
Directors met for a regu-
lar meeting on Monday
evening, Aug. 29, 2011 at
Rolling Plains Memorial
Hospital (RPMH).
The 2012 budget for the
hospital was approved, fol-
lowing no changes from
the Budget Workshop pre-
viously Bid on Monday,
Aug. 22. The proposed
tax rate was set at .25237,
which was the same as last
year.
As a result, two public
meetings on the proposed
tax rate were scheduled
for Tuesday, Sept. 6 and
Friday, Sept. 9. Both pub
lie hearings will be held
at noon, and on Monday,
Sept. 12, a noon meeting
1 be held to vote on the
proposed tax rate. All three
scheduled meetings were
approved by the board.
In addition, the topic of
redistricting was discussed
as some lines will need to
be slightly redrawn after
review from a redistrict-
ing law firm, and two res-
olutions were approved.
The first one adopted cri-
teria for use in the 2011
Redistricting Process; the
second resolution estab-
lished guidelines for per-
sons submitting specific
redistricting proposals dur-
ing the 2011 Redistricting
Process.
Proposed redistricting
maps were presented to the
board members, in which
a brief discussion of the
plans took place. A pub-
c hearing on redistricting
will be scheduled for some-
time in September.
